hello gents;
Speaking of whines yesterday,my rangie (not me,nor the mrs) has developed a whine,it is heard at 40-50 kms and 70 kms,it fluctuates with accelerating and descelerating and while coasting.
Now when at these speeds (whining speed) when i put in N the whine disappear (in highway driving),at the same whining speeds and with N selected there is no whine.
the question is:a diff whine will go away in N?and if it is the diffs,how can i know if front or rear?
thanks gents
 
You're getting to be an impatient bugger! Give people a chance to read and answer.
It could still be either. Diffs tend to whine more when they are being driven rather than just coasting as you are when in neutral. Ditto for the transfer box. You'll have to do a bit more 'directional listening' to try to isolate where it's coming from.
 
naaaaaaaaaaaa i am a patient man,but sometimes i tend to be a bugger specialy if i had a ****y day like today.i can tell that the whine is mostly heard in the center to front area,and if i put one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the tranny lever i can feel the whine at these speeds in both the steering and lever.in N there is nothing,i put N on the highway when i reached 70 kms and the whine disappeared,put D again it comes back quickly.
 
forgot to say that when i rev in N there is no whine,so that exclude the tensioner or power steering pump or any pulley.the bearings have been checked they r not the culprit.when i reverse and turn the steering i hear a band coming from the rear axle (splines) can they cause whining?

You can spend months on here with people suggesting this and that. What you need is and experienced mechanic with trained ear and even then it is difficult. Put it up on four good stands and run it in gear and find the noise with a stethoscope.
 
suppose wammers is right,so i did today go to the specialist,he checked it and drove it,he sadly informed me that it is the t/box,as he said also that a diff whine will always show as long the vehicle is moving even in N,he insisted on leaving it alone to whine,it wont strand u on the roads nor make a catastrofic failure he said. it will whine for years peacefuly.
rasheed as for the bearings,they normaly grind not whine,i have replaced a front hub+bearing before,and then checked it on ramps,bearings are fine (knock on wood).
So guess i will live with it for the moment.

A mechanics stethoscope is not like a doctors, it has an extension probe on it. It can be put on hub readily. I believe the wheel bearing is in the hub. Or was last time i changed one.:):):)

Lol! Picturing a doc's obviously, 18 inches of reach from your head and was wondering if you would also advise wearing loose flappy clothing and long hair! :p
