Got a couple issues going on with the truck right now. Looking for some ideas.
1. I replaced my serpentine belt a couple weeks ago. Everything has been running smoothly expect for the noise. This new belt is way noisier than my previous one. There is no squealing or anything like that, but once I get driving, it has a loud hiss to it with a hint of clicking--almost sounds like it is coming from behind the radiator :scratch: when I put the new belt on I checked all the pulleys and tensioners and everything checked out. .
2. Interior body panels are rattling around and driving me insane. Every bump. What can I do to fix this. I am going to go mad if I do not fix this soon.
3. I have been experiencing some popping/ banging going on when making tight turns--especially in parking lots. Any thoughts? I was thinking ball joints but I have no idea. I just replaced nearly everything under the truck in terms of suspension. I am at a loss here.
4. Since I bought the damn thing, I get horrible vibrations in the rear on some turns. but its very sporadic. Could the rear drums be sticking and not disengaging all the way causing the vibrations? Seems to only be felt on my side of the truck. The front is pretty quiet in terms of vibrations. Although I get a similar vibration in the front as well. It really sucks if they both do it.
5. This is possibly the most annoying thing on the planet. I have a low moaning noise at around 45-50 mph. only does it moan then. even accelerating in that range it does it. However, after 50 mph it just goes away. Up until 45 mph its sounds like a beast. crusing in this speed range is impossible because I get driven insane by the noise. I Am thinking rear diff? Please lord be someone out there with some of the same stuff I am going through. I love my truck but i am being driven insane. This stuff needs to get fixed before an offroad run in March. Any ideas or help would be an incredible service to me.
Thanks All!
