Fireman31 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 There are a few possibilities, front pump on the trans or bad converter hub bearing. Did your trans guy check these? If I remember right, a member here had a similar noise and it wound up being a warped or cracked flex plate??? Someone please correct me if I am wrong....

JC03SS Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Are you sure it's not coming from the AC compressor or AC belt. Just trying to give you a few more things to look for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggs Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Warped, loose or cracked fly wheel maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpoole5074 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 thanks for all the reply's guys, I do not know what was checked at the tranny shop just dropped of and showed the noise to them and they called back a couple hours later and said the tranny is fine, what is strange about it is that we used the pulley tensioner and allowed the belt to quit running and the noise was still there but when you engage the a/c from inside the noise will go away for about 3-4 min then come back...and thanks again for all the welcome's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 MIne is doing the same thing I took it to the shop today and cracked flex plate. Accidently posted that, Anyone know how much labor this will take the guy said it would be 7.5 hrs labor 80 bucks for the part and he recommended I change out the starter right away, all that for just shy of 1K anyone out there know if this is reasonable or high??

dpoole5074 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well after months and months of checking my mechanics finally found the problem...while the squeel is going on if you pull the oil dipstick out you could hear alot of pressure get released and the noise would go away...put the dipskick back in and here comes the noise...So we have decided that the intake manifold gasket is probably out and with the supercharger there is to much pressure getting put in the block...changing out soon but thinking of swapping intakes and possible upgrading the heads at the same time, sooo for now I just pull out the dipstick a little and have not had the noise in 3 days (damn that is nice...lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
