OK, it's real cold here in Denver, but its like this every winter, and this is my third with 'The old gal, Louise'. I put her in 4 two days ago, (NP 229), all is well, checked to see she was in 4 by looking out the door while flooring it on the icy snow. Front tires spin, snow flys into my face..neighbors laugh.
The deal is, she is making a medium howl at revs. Not real pronounced, but there. I am not sure of the exact rpms, but in second at about 30-40. The howl is from the front. It does not seem to get better when warm, but I do think that she is running kool. I have had it in 4 before, of course, and did some light weight weelin this summer and fall, do not recall any howl, but then I was going slow in the mountains. Not tire noise, it is rev only. Normal? Questionable? Stop everything and pray? I did have the tcase, tranny, diffs, completely changed, used tranny fluid in t-case (i think? maybe a quick check...). But, since it is revs, I am thinking tranny and/or motor. I just do not remember this from last winter. Any ideas? I am thinking that the cold tranny is crying out for....what?
