So... I have an issue with whining. It's bearable when the dog does it, it's bad when the girlfriend does it, but now the truck is doing it too!!
Here's the story:
There is a whine coming from the truck at speed. It doesn't seem to be affected by whether I'm on the throttle or not, but it does increase in intensity when the speed increases, whether coasting down hill or getting on the skinny pedal. It's definitely a whine, not a clunk. Sounds like a bearing? Anyways, it only becomes apparent above 20 mph, so it's hard to diagnose in the the drive way. I know it's not a front axle wheel bearing, but beyond that i'm at a lose. Does any one have any suggestions for what it might be?
I'm hoping rear wheel bearing, but fearing pinion bearing.
Is there anything I'm over looking?
Truck is a '98 K1500 with 161k miles. 5.7l, 4l60e, np243, and what i believe to be a 10 bolt with 3.73 gears, no posi.
Thanks in advance, guys.
