She was running great for awhile while it was out of the mud, but once I got new tires, I went right back in.

Theres two different noise I'm getting.

The one that started first is definately something to do with the fan. It has the "School Bus" wind up, and it stays going for a few seconds after my foots off the gas. It NEVER used to do this. I don't know what has to be replaced to fix this.

The second noise, I beleive, is either a tension or idler pulley. It's the more constant high pitch whine you'll see in the video. This happened a few hundred miles after the School Bus noise.

The quality isn't the best (off my phone) but you get the idea. And yes, I know my check engine light is on. I crushed the gas tank and the emissions valve needs to be replaced.

 






Hard to tell without seeing it, but..

If there's a fan clutch I'll bet that's the one noise. The other noise certainly does sound like a pulley. Maybe squirt a little WD40 on the pulley hubs without getting it on the belt or pulley surface. If you get it to be quiet then you'll know which pulley it is and can proceed from there.
