Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / October 2006Can anyone identify these "noises?"
I have a 1999 Dodge ram, extended cab automatic, 4X4 318, that is very close to being traded in for another brand of truck.. This past year this truck has more than nickle and dimed me. But I won't go into that. I just replaced the water pump. I'm not a mechanic, so it's hard for me to diagnose things, but I usually fix them once I know what is wrong. But now there are two noises. These noises were there before I replaced the water pump. One seems to be coming from the transmisssion. It's a very fast knocking, tapping and I can only hear it when the truck is in park. When I put the truck in reverse or drive, the noise pretty much goes away. My tranny fluid level is fine. The other noise is sort of a high-pitched squealing, whistling noise. If I had to guess I'd say it was coming from the A/C compressor. Or maybe it's just the belt squealing on everything. It's a fairly new belt. Any ideas, suggestions? Thanks >The other noise is sort of a high-pitched squealing, whistling noise. >If I had to guess I'd say it was coming from the A/C compressor. Or >maybe it's just the belt squealing on everything.

My truck HAS to have the type that has the 1" piece of foam on the top of it. >>The other noise is sort of a high-pitched squealing, whistling noise. >>If I had to guess I'd say it was coming from the A/C compressor.

I've had new tensioners make some awful noises on my Dakota. > >>The other noise is sort of a high-pitched squealing, whistling noise. > >>If I had to guess I'd say it was coming from the A/C compressor.

I forgot to mention, the truck has 105,000 miles. >I have a 1999 Dodge ram, extended cab automatic, 4X4 318, that is very >close to being traded in for another brand of truck..

In the old days, that would probably be the pilot bushing... have to ask the tech in the group..

Diagnoses: Heat plate was loose. No charge. |
