Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season. I mentioned in another thread that I purchased a 2010 with 41,000 miles on it. I didn’t notice during the test drive, but there is a whine/hum in the driveline. It is only there when I am in drive, and I either give her a decent amount of gas (at least 1/3 throttle) or I am going uphill. I thought it may be the attached TSB from another thread so I installed the transfer case damper associated with it, but that turned out to not be the issue. The YouTube video below is after I installed the damper. I am driving up a steep hill with my phone laying in the driver’s side footwell close to the console recording the video. The clip begins with me at a standstill, and I slowly increase throttle until about 3k. The high pitch whine comes into play somewhere in the 2200-2500 rpm range. I am waiting on transfer case/differential fluid to be delivered so I can do a change on them and look closely at the current fluids for metal. Does anyone know the problem off the top of their head? Any help will be appreciated.
