whirring sound
Resolved: It was the pinion bearing in the rear differential. Fixed by swapping in a used 3rd member.
I've noticed that my truck is making this sound.
I'd describe it as a vaguely metallic whirring or whooshing sort of sound.
It only does it when i am in gear but not on the gas. If the clutch is disengaged, it doesn't make the sound. If I give it gas, it doesn't make the sound (as far as I can tell. It's possible that other, normal engine noise drowns it out when I gas it, but I don't think it's the case).
I can't pinpoint the sound because I have to be in motion in order to hear it.
I have a 1990 pickup, 4wd, manual trans, 22RE.
What could this be?

well it deff sounds like an imput shaft bearing to me, but maybe some1 els will chime in, but to get it changed out you basically have to do the same thing as change the clutch, (why i was asking)
