Bonj87 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 ok im driving home today and i finally got sick of this whirring sound im hearing. when im up to speed, and i just barely hold the accelerator down, i can hear this WHIRRRRRRR from the engine. i thought maybe it was my K&N tubes being loose and im hearing an air leak. i get home, re tighten everything, go for a short ride, and I still hear it. is it a normal sound?? anyone else hear this?

Fallen.One05 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 whenever i had that particular noise..... it was from a missing header / manifold bolt..... apparently one fell out somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 you CAI makes a noise when rompin on the gas pedal....makes a "suction" noise.....but not a "WHHHIIRRRRIINNNGGG" noise....i dont beleive its ur CAI.....JMO I thought you meant the sucking noise under the hood, but now what you describe sounds like a problem with a diff to me, the whirring noise sounds like a bad carrier bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonj87 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 oh great.. just what i need.. an expensive tranny repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) oh great.. just what i need.. an expensive tranny repair The carrier bearing has nothing to do with the trans, its an issue with the differential(s), besides I am just diagnosing this by what you are stating here, I am not actually there is person to hear it...........who knows I could be wrong what you are describing now sounds like a bad carrier bearing though.........

BURRL Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 My 03 AWD had a whirring noise. I removed the front diff and pulled it apart. The carrier for the ring gear had a side carrier bearing come apart. The noise was mostly audible @ 30-50 MPH and louder under light accel. My truck only has 23,000 miles on it.
