Ok guys I need help. This squeal might be getting worse and I'm about to do a big wheeling trip. Need to figure out if this is something failing.
Here's a video, sounds starts around 12mph accelerating and ends around 10mph decelerating.
Things I know:
Here's a video, sounds starts around 12mph accelerating and ends around 10mph decelerating.
Things I know:
- Not rpm dependent. Does not change pitch with RPM.
- Not dependent on engine load (squeals coasting downhill).
- Not dependent on transmission gear, it might go away at highway speed or it might just be that road noise drowns it out.
- Not throttle dependent **but sometimes seems to go away briefly under throttle changes.
- Requires a minimum speed. Seems loudest at low speeds surprisingly.
- Does not appear when engine is cold. Seems to need to drive for 30 minutes or so. Shows up on longer drives. Once squealing continues squealing even after stop / short shutdown. This makes me think not a aerodynamic whistle. Also the fact that it doesn't change pitch with speed.
- Just tried this and I don't think it squeals / whistles in reverse??
- Not affected by 2wd / 4wd.
- I'm running doors off right now and it appears to be coming from front and louder on driver side.
