Sheesh. It's been a while.
So, I've recently developed a whining coming from the engine compartment. I would normally try to diagnose it myself, but the problem is that it only happens while the jeep is moving.
Here's what I've tried:
Figured it had to do with rpm's at first. Revving has no effect. While parked and idling, there is no whine. While parked and revving, no whine.
So, I thought maybe it is an axle/wheel issue. Hill, neutral, rolllllling; nothing.
If I am parked, the heap sounds fine. But once I put it in first and let the clutch out, it starts up. It sounds like it is still going on while driving, but the damn thing is so loud in the cab that I can't really tell. (maybe it's quieter) Then, when I come to a stop light it will slowly die down until I come to a stop (even if I roll to a stop in neutral, it will only completely go away if I'm stopped)
I'm at a loss since I can't go into the engine and listen for it. Vacuum lines maybe? I don't really know. (also, it's not the AC)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
