Guest DTECH Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Today I decided to hit the mud/water pit before the movies. I played around and when I get out, I hear this hideous squeal. It is inconsistent at various pitches, it is definitely something against metal, it appears and goes away but is always there. At 75 it will appear and go away w no change in speed. When I turn the pitch varies. I remember my dads truck did that and it was wheel bearing, we greased them and it was fixed. But this sounds a lot worse. and I dont think the bearing could go from good to bad in the span of 15 min in the mud. I checked for debris in the wheel wells but nothing. :confused: DTECH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Sometimes crap gets into the brakes and they squeal like a virgin on a prom night. Take the wheels off and make sure nothing is caught in there. It happened to me a few times. Yea.. the squeal is horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagwoodzz Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) A water pump will make nasty squeel sounds when it startings going out. Easy to diagnose if you have anti-freeze. Remove skid plate, shine flashlight on front of motor from the bottom. If you see pretty emerald green drops of water, time for new water pump.

Guest DTECH Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Filthy Luker was right, I took off front right tire and washed out w hose. lots of dirt came from between the rotor and the plate behind. Everything had about 1/4 inch of mud on it. Well now I know. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
