Q: During acceleration past 30mph a lot whine starts like a her engine along with very light almost grinding feel in accelerator
My vehicle will start to whine after speeding up.. Like a jet engine should with a light grinding noise I can't pin point. If I let my truck veer to the wake up could once I've hit them the grinding goes away and the noise lessens. Any ideas?
