Re: Front end noise (part 2)

Brian,
What kind of tranny is it? Mine whirrr's while in four low. Then again, when
my yoke nut loosened up, it would really howl when I would let off of the
gas. Sounds like you may already have the answer. Pinyon bearings gunked up
with dirty, "rusty" stuff? Or the axle bearings? hmmm........
