I was driving with a lead foot in the dark, and hit a jump when the gravel turned to pavement. The front axle rammed into the pulley and took a piece of steel off the pulley. Luckily i didn't break the block or break the crankshaft. I have this new noise that I can not find for the life of me. It is like a screeching steel noise and I only have it when running over a pothole or bump. The truck handles the same though. No panels are loose, tires are tight, jacked up the front end to find anything loose, and I could not find anything.

Anyone have any ideas for me? Noise sounds like its in front of me. I thought I would ask here before ignoring it. :)
 
Perhaps if you can find another change the pully,it may be out a bit.Look about for someting getting a shine on it,may show what is touching. Fitting new bump stops may help it happening again.
 
I can't see any physical damage besides the chipped pully on the crank. I have to drive it in a couple days so maybe the noise will manifest itself. Bump stops are in good condition, diff is fine. I think I will put on my list to change the pulley to a single and remove the double row that is there. Feeling lucky so far.
