21st Century E-Commerce Money Making Formula

Q: various problems... see http//dodgeram.info/tsb/2003-index.htm for a list of tsbs tom i checked out the link you gave since i have an 03 qc 1500 4x4. one tsb i found interesting was 21-004-02. it deals with clutch housing and structural cover installation. it says that if misaligned it can cause engine noise. do you know what exactly they define as engine noise just wondering if they are referring just to a specific noise from the engine or noise from the engine/transmission area in general. im asking because my truck has what i consider an abnormally loud whine in 1st to 3rd. dont really notice it in 4th or 5th. its loud enough that people can hear it when i drive by in low gears or use the engine for braking. from what i read in the fsm it would mostly be clutch problems and chatter although the part on pilot bearing input shaft and bearing damage makes me wonder. my clutch works fine by the way. my only complaint is the whine which the dealer says is normal. i test drove a couple of other manual trucks and really didnt notice much of a noise. in my old ferd only granny was noisy and that was when you made er work! hd .
