I had my tires rotated, balanced, and then aligned even though they were not supposed to align them and ever since then it makes a grinding or winding noise when in 4 high. When in auto it makes the same noise as in 4 hi when you are driving and accelerate really quick and then let off the gas However when in 2 wheel drive it does not make any noises. Not sure what this may be but i don't remember it doing this until after they rotated, balanced and aligned my tires. The truck is still under warranty any ideas on what this may be? Thanks

It could just be a tire noise when 4wd is engaged and the front tires are pulling. If it's still under warranty, have the dealer check it out. At least that way it's documented if you have more trouble down the road.
