Of course the tire shop says it is the drive train. That gets them off the
hook! The universal joints are real easy to check though. It's probably
the back one.
A "rumble" is a u-joint. A "howl" is a rear axle going bad. What kind of
tires did you put on it?

bridgestone duelers. i tend to trust the tire shop. i've bought tons
of tires there, so there's sort of that bond and trust thing going on.

I am not familiar with this tire, but the name doesn't look like "Wolverine
Claw" or something that you would expect to make a lot of road noise. If I
am wrong, and the tires have great big lugs for gripping in the mud, that
could be the problem. Otherwise, the u-joints are really easy to check with
a few simple tools. If you need to replace one, I recommend taking the
whole drive shaft to a machine shop. Let them worry about it if one of the
cups is seized in a yoke.
