Hey gang. I have this weird buzzing/squealing/whirring noise in my 3rd Gen that sounds very much like stereo interference but it's not. It changes as I gas, the more I press the faster it sounds. I thought it was my powersteering pump, as found in searches, but after replacement it still makes that noise. Damn its irriatating as all hell. Any ideas folks? Tanks!

 

It's not in your 3rd gen? I don't understand. Do you mean it isn't in the cabin, or it is in another vehicle?

 

Haha what a retarded typo. I fixed it... Sorry for the confusion

 

bumpty bump

 

Is it increasing as your SPEED increases, or as your RPM's increase?
I had a horrid squeeling sound that turned out to be my speedometer cable. (I discovered after I replaced my front wheel bearings for no reason...) It increased in sound as my speed increased.
Just my $.02

 

I swear Ive had a million noises after screwing around with my truck so much.

I often find its the tiniest of problems.

Check your driveshafts...make sure they are lubed well.
Wheel bearing is possible.
The c-clip that holds the axle nut on the front CV was scratching the dust cover once and that sounded like I broke a CV or something...very annoying.
Sway bar wasnt tightend all the way.. very noisy.

Umm is it coming from inside your engine bay or suspension or what?

 

i think i've heard that the spark plug wires can interfer with the radio an that might change with engine speed. but i could be carzy. idk i think i might have heard that

 

Yeah not as the speed increases but as the RPMs increase. The sound is directly related to RPMs.

 

I don't want to start a new thread so I will highjack this one.

I am getting a squealing sound as well. It is very faint and I can only seem to hear it inside the cab. If I roll down a window or open the door I hear nothing. It increases with speed and is must notable at lower speeds, say form 1 TO 25 or 30 mph. I can hear it better the closer I stick my head to the dash. I have manual locking hubs and so I know it's not in the front diff or axles. I have also jacked the front end up and turned both wheels, they spin free and with no noise. Thinking that it could possibly be in the Driveline or T-case I jacked the rear end up and stuck it in drive, there was no squeal at all. It is not related to RPMs and again it's only when the vehicle is moving and applying the braking dose not effect it ether.
Dose anybody have some idea what the heck this could be?? I know it's hard without hearing it. But I need some ideas on this one!

Thanks guys!
