Whining noise?

I have a low speed whine in my 72 2wd I have replaced center support bearing,u joints,pan hard bar and a new rear pinion yoke seems to be getting worse instead of better.

Re: Whining noise?

Have You narrowed down the approximate location of the whine? Couls even be a wheelbearing describing it like that.

Re: Whining noise?

Does the noise differ when accelerating/decelerating ? Turning corners ?

Re: Whining noise?

Looks like the group wants you to focus on the wheel bearings or pinion bearings. Since you're replacing driveline parts I'd take a look at those pinion bearings. If the yoke wasn't properly tightened that could cause the problem.

Re: Whining noise?

I am thinking differential noise ring and pinion or the carrier/axle bearings? change in the noise on accel/decelerate would to be coming from the rearend.

Re: Whining noise?

The ring/pinion, axle bearings and case side bearings are turning 1/4 of the speed of the pinion/ driveshaft. The noise they make when bad is described as a growling noise. Bad pinion bearings make a whining noise

Re: Whining noise?

Does this whining sound only occur while your wife is in the truck?

Re: Whining noise?

It starts about 15-20 mph and gets worse about 45 and it does get worse when accelerating don't seem to hear it when you get up past 55 or so.I was told I probably screwed things up when I tightened the yoke down.I didn't think I really over tightened it but I guess its possible.

YES!! How did you know? That's the only time my trucks ever whine!
In all seriousness, just kidding. I'd be looking at the pinion bearings/preload as well.
