argh mystery sounds...

[mepr]

Well i have encountered a wonderfull sound. I was out four wheeling today whith my brother. I got perty wild had one rear tire up in the air perty good (i have pics and video if anyone whants host them ). But on the way home i crawled through a nice deep mud hole, watter was coming into the cab through the door seels and such. But i had my luv parked at my bros apt. and its realy cold out now (frost all over it). When i whent to pull out of the parking lot i heard a pop followed by a constant low volume squeel. Could this just be frozen watter somewhere. My transmision skid plate was drug through the snow perty good once. Could it be that some of that snow froze to the drive shaft? Just looking for possible things to look at tomarow in the shop...

Probably. If the shop is heated, just park the truck there for a few hours to let everything melt off and see what that does for you. Pretty much anything that moves while you're driving (brake rotors, driveshafts) could have some ice on it that's dragging against something else while you drive. If the shop isn't real warm and you want to speed things up, start taking a hair dryer to stuff. I'd start at the brakes and wheels.

Did you set the parking brake? If so, it is probably the brakes draging.

If not, Sean is right, it could be a multitude of things from brakes to even something like getting water in the diff and having it freeze up.

Do you have auto-lock hubs?
Mine made popping and grinding noises after encouters with water. They suck anyways but that might be one more thing to look at if can't figure out that noise.

no my hubs are manuals. I guess ill just get the stove in the shop going and let my luv thaw out today. Thanks
