    I've developed a whine in a just 10 miles of driving

    Did you know that the whole bearing journal can break off the differential carrier and you can keep on driving? Because now I know! However it made it chip one teeth since the oil change maybe 100 miles ago Anyway now with a Truetrac fitted it's not only quiet, but also no more one wheel peel...

    Looking for support in ordering right parts from US

    I’ll be doing some rear axle and suspension work due to what appears as a noisy bearing and worn out bushings and I’m looking for support to double check if I’m ordering the correct parts. I have a 1990 Suburban V1500, 350 TBI, 10 bolt axles, 700R4. My goals: • Fixing a noisy diff (most likely...

    I've developed a whine in a just 10 miles of driving

    I did change it once I've seen the color. Anyway I think it's beyond my diagnostic capabilities. I'll take it to the shop to see what's going on.

    I've developed a whine in a just 10 miles of driving

    Could having too much ATF in a transfer case screw something up? I've drained like a quart from a fill plug (2nd time this happens, last time I've had to add like an ounce, so it's random) and since the ATF came out dark I've changed it. I suspect the darkness comes from the clutch material from...

    I've developed a whine in a just 10 miles of driving

    I have relatively quiet A/T tires and at that point the exhaust bypass was fully closed, you can barely hear the engine. This whine sounds much lower than a whine I've developed in WRX, or inherited in a short ratio diff of my S2000. Adding that odd metallic sound that has appeared it makes me...

    I've developed a whine in a just 10 miles of driving

    On a way home I've recorded couple of audio samples. Kinda sounds different on my phone than on Youtube, but lets say close enough. Some additional noise has appeared, I'd say metallic? This makes me wonder if it's a bearing somewhere dying or what. Transfer case: I'll definitely check it as...

    I've developed a whine in a just 10 miles of driving

    That's my biggest worry: Why so fast? I'm no stranger to drivelines making funny noises, my previous daily driver has developed a whine over much longer period of time, amplified by an accidental clutch drop at one time. I also had Hondas with noisy diff and transaxle and they just kept going...

    I've developed a whine in a just 10 miles of driving

    Hi, Recently on my 16 km/10 mile commute back home Burb has developed a pronounced whine under acceleration. I just power washed it throughout, focusing on undercarriage to get rid of a road salt after winter, so I suspected that I managed to somehow introduce water into the axle via the vent...

    OE Wheel size?

    The steering design is different, but same physics apply. Any ET difference from neutral is going to create unequal forces in suspension. Actually there is one more variable: Changing outside diameter of tire will change a scrub radius. So going to ET0 with larger tires may cause an odd effect...

    Unlock barn doors from inside

    I need to correct myself so that I do not leave misinformation in this thread: It actually matters if a lock is locked or not. I had a weak connection to the actuator and didn't realize that my lock wasn't fully engaging during tests >.< Once the door is locked, that is the plate that engages...

    OE Wheel size?

    Back when I had a Honda CRX with manual steering I've learned how important is to have a correct ET on front axle: 10 mm off and keeping it in straight line under hard acceleration or braking, especially on roads with ruts was a fight. Adding power steering made it manageable. With ET that is...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Thank you for that write-up, it gives some perspective on what I'm considering doing.

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Yes, and for now the option with that all in one ALDL-reader, chip reader/burner, which also includes a memory emulator sounds like the best way to go, however bit pricey & currently out of stock. Especially the emulator function is tempting, you can fine tune the engine as you drive. That is...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    I want to learn that thing myself, play with engine tuning, I want to learn it one way or another :)
