Replying to: viking8 (Mar 20, 2007 10:15 am) If the whine never changes with engine load or speed, don't get nervous yet, it could be your tires.   If not the tires, whine is usually caused by the (front) differential. Especially if it's one of those AAM (GM) axle assemblies.   Best regards, Dusty Replies to this message: sirbigins (Aug 15, 2007 5:08 pm)

Long time reader first time user. Got a similar problem with my 03' Dak 4X4 with 4.7L. Purchased the truck used & it has only 24K miles on it. From the rear of the truck there is a whine noise that is constant, the dealership didn't care to examine. The noise is quite prevelent and "sometimes" it sycronizes with the turn signal and headlamps turned on. Any suggestions as to what is causing the noise would be appreciated. Flipper

Replying to: dakotahp (Feb 05, 2007 3:53 pm) Well, without more information it is possible that your truck has a U-joint that is begining to seize.   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: fawlrud (Jun 03, 2007 10:28 pm) dustyk (Jun 24, 2007 5:05 pm) jhughe90 (Dec 05, 2007 12:57 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Feb 10, 2007 11:38 am) I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with the rear-end of my 03 Dakota 4.7L 4x4 QuadCab for 4 years.   3 years ago - took in to dealer and they replaced rear-diff pinion gears and ring gear after hearing the noise; that fixed the problem for a while   2 years ago - same drill, same result   1 year ago - jackass technician told me a TSB was out calling for owners to drown out the sound with radio to determine if noise is just normal = BS   now, the noise occurs as usual. Here is a description:   Audible from driver's seat and while sitting in the rear passengers' part of the cab   45-60 mph noticeable whining/ringing only when gas pedal is pushed, when engine is not under any load, noise ceases   as best i can tell, the noise does come from the rear end guesses as to what it is: 1. ring gear, pinion gear in rear diff 2. driveshaft and rear axle, esp. rear diff housing, are not set up in line 3. u-joint has been suggested but i know very little about u-joints except that they creak when going bad 4. wheel bearing 5. fuel pump 6. it's not the damn tires 7. ghosts 8. Dodge's infamous transmission   anyone have any ideas as to how to diagnose the problem? short of making a long stethoscope, i am certain that if i take the truck in, the dealer will say something to the effect of "duh..." and attempt a fix. I'm at 68400 mi, with a 100k mi/2009 extended warranty that covers these sorts of things when the 7/70 powertrain goes out.   If anybody knows how to fix the problem and can outline how and I can get a dealer to fix it using your guidelines, I will send you $50; that is how annoying the whine/ring is, and, most importantly, I know that this ringing/whinging is a harbinger for impending mechanical doom/wallet rape.   thank you Replies to this message: dustyk (Jun 24, 2007 5:05 pm) jhughe90 (Dec 05, 2007 12:57 pm)

Replying to: fawlrud (Jun 03, 2007 10:28 pm) It's probably a pinion bearing.   Dusty

Replying to: blk4x4 (Mar 10, 2007 12:34 am) My 94 Dakota has a whirrling sound that is coming from a bad bearing in the rear diff. Even though the sound is coming from the rear diff, it does sound like its coming from the front diff.
