whining sound after mudding - North American Grand Cherokee Association

wildabeast4 · 12-02-2005, 02:43 PM

after i went through some mud, my jeep made a whining sound off and on. is it just mud on the fan belt. it has happened before right after i went throught the mud. is there anything i can put on it to clean it off or do i just need to wait for it to come off on its own.

i fixed it. it wasnt my brakes it was the fan belt rotators that were getting a little rusty after more water got on them. i put some oil on them and it stopped. thanks though.

mud is the worst thing you can do to your truck. I see truck everyday at work and the owner is like "well i hit the mud andit started making sounds." I see more broken axels, because guys dont change the dif fluid after they hit the mud...SO if your jeep is making noises change the fluids in the axels, oil, trans, T-Case, really just change all your fuilds. Mud gets in every thing the best thing i can tell you is stay out of it. Un less you hit it on the traill at some point. But as far as just gittin muddy i would say you will have more probs then fun.

mine did the same thing after hitting some mud. It turned out to be the idler pulley.

Idler pulleys suck.....on the TJ I still can't figure out why they made 2 pulleys 2 different sizes when one would have done. [smilie=bal_ask.gif]
