Whistling noise

Post by Sir Brixalot »

Its coming from under van. Mainly when cruising, doesn't get any worse accelerating. Would rear brakes make that sort of noise if getting low or do you have any other suggestions. ATF is clear, not losing oil or coolant.

Exhaust blowing or fan belt loose?

I'll double check braking today. It's less screechy than a fan belt the exhaust is SS but I'll check the joints today

Thanks Rick. I checked when I first heard the whistling, ATF level is good.

E D I T. Drove around today but no noise. I did find a split in a front CV boot. Fingers crossed that's all it is.Been a couple of weeks since I found two boots have split - lubricated CV joints and no more whistle since
