02 libby ltd 4x4 whine.

SnickerDoodle · **Posted:** Sun Jun 20, 2010 10:00 pm

ok so my Myrlte (02 libby) has a whine, starts at about 35-40 mph and whines till about 50-55. I take my foot off the gas and it goes away.

I already did a tranny flush, also flushed the rear dif. I took in some water in the pine barrens last weekend dude to my breather being dry rotted... cleaned out the rear dif. re-sealed and new breather.

The sound is still there. Theres no vibration, sound is coming from under the center console. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Im taking a look at the transfer case tomorrow and flushing out that as well.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

U-Joint was still in top shape. It was just replaced in jan/feb.

Ill have to take a look at the axle bearings though. Good suggestion. Thanks! Ill be sure to let everyone know later tonight after working on her.

Yea...false alarm

Looks like its the pinion bearings. Not bad, only $25-27 bucks for the two of them, now if only i knew someone who was local and could replace them for me. I read up on how to replace them, however, i'm not feeling 100% confident in myself to replace them lol.

yea if its the pinion bearings thatll cost you in labor for sure. fulltimer just paid over $600 for his to be replaced.
