It has been doing odd things. Replaced the RF hub assembly on the 03 Explorer (110k). All other 3 wheels are tight, that one had slight play, thinking OK great found the source of the noise. Pulled the diff cover off as well, all looked good (as I was told), buttoned it up and filled with Lucas 80/90.
Take it to work, few little noises, nothing big, little whine that could be the tires. Coming home, get on X-way, 15 miles, nice and quiet. Kill the cruise at the exit as I am slowing down and get this growling whine again. Give it gas, goes away. Stressing a bit as Wednesday the kids and I need to go back to Chicago (250 miles) for the mom-in-laws funeral.
Why is this only doing it when the load is released? and not all the time, just after a good hwy run. Looking for hints, suggestions & prayers as I have a few hours in the morning to look it over (again). My worst fear is the trans is going. Once in a while it does a slight surge, kind of feels like a misfire.
