The list of possible problems is huge with your limited description. I suggest you take the truck to a mechanic that can experience the problem for themselves.

I would guess (and it’s just a guess) that you might have a bad bearing in the hub on one side or the other. You said you have the vibration while in 2wd. Does that mean that you do not have it in 4wd?

The hub bearing is just a guess because they’re a pretty common item to have to replace on those trucks at higher mileage. Could be a lot of things, as Mustangman said. If it is the hub, the noise should get a little more pronounced when you turn.
