maxpower wrote just because a dealer cant fix your vehicle does not mean its a lemon theres alot of technicians/service managers out there from the dealer to the independent shops that cant fix the products they work on take it to another shop get another opinion have the dealer install the co-pilot on it if its an intermittent problem. does 18-36-98 tsb pertain to your vehicle it may be a bad ais motor moses horwitz moses horwitz wrote the ais motor was the first thing they guessed at. dealer installed a co-pilot. it showed that the pcm was calling for an idle of 480. technician sad this was not a problem. lemon law suit filed by the end of the week. jam .

transmission suddenly started to make whining or howling noise. its a 97 dakota 4x4 about 90k miles automatic and the noise changes pitch in sync with the speed of the truck. meaning a very light noise when at a stop while in drive and once i take off and pick up speed the noise increases bases on the speed i am traveling with the pitch getting high the higher the speed. i brake to come to a stop and the noise whines down in sync with the speed of the truck slowing down. the noise is very noticeable and loud. the faster i go the higher the pitch. transmission oil and filters have been changes as recommended and last done about 5000 miles ago. the oil level is good of course and smells normal no burnt smells or anything like that and has good color. the transmission is still very strong pulls hard still just as powerful as new even while towing. no problem with its performance at all other then the noise that just recently started when in drive. the noise has not gotten any worse in time so far and sounds and performs the same when cold or hot. when the transmission is shifted to neutral the noise goes away totally so its only while it is in gear both forward and reverse you hear it. i can be traveling down the road at certain speed and rpm and while maintaining my foot on the pedal not change the rpm or speed shift it to neutral for however long a time and noise disappears. put it back in drive 2nd or 1st the noise comes back. i have worked with hydraulic before and the sound is similar to a hydraulic pump whine or even like a power steering pump low on oil or something for the record its not the power steering pump i have checked this out. it is not the engine tires or power steering and this is based on the test with the noise going away when shifting to neutral while maintaining an rpm and speed on the same road surface. any ideas please post. thanks for looking. .

i have a sort of formula. look at the size of denny ok 61 205 lbs put both feet on the damn scale. then figure how much food it takes to fill that stomach not near as much as it used to. in my younger days i could inhale a 14 pizza and look for more. now a filet-o-fish from mcdonalds is about right. that would be the munchie you spoke about. multiply by at least three huge meals a day. maybe two medium ones and some munchies during the day when the hands arent too awful greasy.. this is between lunch and dinner. has to be one hell of a feed bill so thats yer cost for the rabbit pellets. gbfg roy that really sounds like a cheap way to heat a dwelling. maybe i should develope a shit furnace and market it on the east coast. think there is a market for it youre so full of it you could keep the whole family nice and toasty. vbg oh lashing out again bfg the pats have kept the field uncovered this past week through some snow and a lot of rain. it was 60 degrees this morning 30 now. will be about 25 at game time with 15mph wind and a chance of flurries. roy .
