Ok,
First, If you have anything to say, even an opinion, please do.
So I have done a little more research, and I have noticed that my runner, a V8, idles around 500-600rpm's normally, sometimes jumping up higher, never above 800. I posted yesterday about a lower "wwwwwaaaaa" sound from the front of my vehicle, and though it migh be attributyed to my resting idle. The engine seems to run a little harder at that time also. I can say now after driving it home yesterday, that I hear the sound/vibration when I am stopping on an incline or a decline, moresthan a flat, just going to stop, stop. I hear it almost every time I stop in my driveway, which is inclined(very small incline).
Changed my own spark plugs. Titanium instead of iridium. Should I have put the iridium,s in?
The Sound is driving me crazy!
Everything else is quiet, runs great.
Could the transmission be making a sound like that? A concern of mine
it goes away when I shift in to neutral or park, but the idle also goes up a bit and seems to quiet down
I have checked the skid plates, which are bent up a little, and the heat shields, doesn't seem to be those.
I am going to the dealership today to get a tranny flush, I plan on having them leave the plates off so I can see if it makes a difference. I don't trust them with a diagnosis, that's why I ask everyone here. Way more trustworthy, Way better advice.
Thanks
