squeeling engine...

ok so my engine squeel's (if thats how you spell it) only when i move. if i just rev the engine it doesnt make the sound but as soon as i move it picks up and gets faster as i go then when i shift it starts slow again. i got the whole tune up done at 137k and i'm at 149 now so i dont think it would be anything to do with that... any ideas
thanks
bobby

What tranny?

From what you describe it doesn't seem like it would be a belt... but have you made sure they are all tight anyway?

I'd make sure the belts are in check. I have heard some weird noises come from them. It would be a lot easier to fix than do something with the tranny.

I had a bad rear diff a while ago, had a horrid squeal whenever I moved. You could hear it mostly at city cruising speeds (25-45mph). On the highway it seemed like it went away but I just think you couldn't hear it over the cab noise. It ended up being a bad rear diff pinion bearing I believe. Luckily this happened 400 miles (!!!) before the warranty was out and had the dealership fix it for free. Boy I had to fight for them to fix that one. They were crying abuse/lack of maintenance...good thing I keep my maintenance records.

Sounds like it mainly happens when there is load on the drivetrain...could be a number of things. You'll have to isolate where it's coming from. I actually had some buddies drive next to me with their windows rolled down and sourced it that way.

Not to point out the obvious, but it could even be your brakes telling you they need to be changed...just a thought!

Put it up on 4 quality jack-stands SAFELY.....make sure it does not move when you shove on it real good, start it and get under there whilst its in gear runnin.

We can only guess on a NG without actually hearing it.
