87turbo

So i have a whine that sounds kind of like i have a gear drive set up but not quite that loud. It only makes the noise when i am accelerating which makes me think its not the motor but more of a drivetrain sound, it doesnt really get louder with rpm either its pretty steady. Also it is coming from the front end area not the rear. Any ideas?


86 pickup, 5spd, 22re freshly rebuilt, 220,000 miles on most of the drivetrain.

ive got a similar whine coming from the front of my 93 runner only on acc never when the gas is off i found a thread about a whine TC had and a fix im gonna try it soon but if you find out let me know the thread is something about the front shaft being dry and theres evena way to fix it look up TC threads

are you driving your turbo when you hear this whine? keke

Transmission input bearing is going. Does it change or get quieter in 4th gear? If so then that is it. If you fix it now you may be able to save the trans, if you don't it will start popping out of gear and then bye bye.

drive it til it blows then look for the broken parts.

turned out to be power steering pump, i threw in some lucas sealer and condition and no more whine.

Where did you add the sealer. I have a squeal at start up followed by constant whine or whirring. Listened around with a stethoscope and the whirring is loudest at the power steering pump.

adding 80-90 works too
