Whining noise

Good morning,

Does the noise change pitch when you turn the steering wheel?

Was the transmission filter changed with the service?

Can you take a video with sound of the noise and upload it so we can hear it?

I can try and upload a video today. Not a change in pitch when turn and I will check to see if they changed the filter as I am not sure.

Thank you.

Sounds like a plan.

Roy

No filter was changed out. Just confirmed that.

Okay, a clogged filter will cause the noise.

I would have the pan dropped and the filter changed out. Good possibility that could be your noise.

Is this something that we can do at home, or does vehicle need to be jacked up?

You can do it at home.

Yes, it has to be jacked up to gain access to the transmission pan.

You will need a filter and about six quarts of fluid. Any parts store should stock these parts.

Roy

I hope you can hear it. I was taking foot on and off acceleration in hopes to hear difference.

Good.

That sounds like a noise from the drive train. It could be differential or axle bearing.

You need to take this to a shop and have them drive it and give you an opinion. That is a noise from a bearing somewhere. Just difficult for me to give a good clue not being there.

Roy

Thanks! I have an appointment set up on Wednesday. In your opinion will driving it cause more harm?

Not from the video. You have a short period of time to get it looked at.

Once they have an opinion, let us know the results.

Roy

Forgot to ask, in your opinion is it urgent to get looked at? We are planning on going out of town and wanted to drive truck. This might not be best idea? I am dropping off Wednesday. Hoping they can look at it, not appt specifically.

No, do not go until the issue is determined. Then we can discuss whether you can take it on a long drive.

At this point, no, do not take it.

Roy

Okay, thank you! Hopefully they can squeeze me in and get it figured out. May rent a car just in case!

I would have a back up plan, yes.

Let us know the results.

Roy

So here is the estimate of what is wrong $3,300.00!

That is very, very high.

All the parts at rock auto are around $300.00 minus the fluid.

$3,000.00 for labor is a joke. It is about a six hour job. That is about $750.00. That means the job is worth around $1,000.00 to $1,100.00.

Roy

We thought the same! Took to dealership so figured was way high. Have to find mechanic now. I did not get a chance to ask dealership if all of the recommendations had to do directly with the noise we are hearing, they did a whole vehicle inspection. Thanks for your feedback!

You are welcome.

This is what dealership explained to me. Photo did not attach before. Just wanted to add to the original question thread.

Okay, thanks.

Still way overpriced.

Roy

In your option is the vehicle okay to drive long distances? Dealership said yes but little leary.

Thanks!

Not in my opinion. You have bad bearings and those shavings are making the issue worse. Over time they will cause much more damage.

I would go the safe route and rent a car.

Roy

That is what I was thinking as well. We plan to get fixed after we are back from trip, renting a car for sure!

Good deal.

Roy
