Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Noise in Drivetrain

[BBrooks]

It started out as sort of a chatter when decelerating, now it has become a squeal when accelerating or going up a small grade. Any ideas out there, the truck is a 5 speed.

Did you check you intercooler boots? Is it low on power or have excessive smoke? Did it start after you performed work on the truck?

I have not checked that yet, but what about the chatter? Thanks for the idea!!

I am going to change fluid tonight and see if that helps

I don't have any first hand experience to draw on, but I think it would be a good idea to check or have a shop ck the 5th / rev assm retaining nut. That is the main cause of failure in the 4500. If it is just starting to backoff, you may be able to aviod a major expense.

could it be the transmission mount? it looks a little worn, would that cause it to squeal like a pig?

Sounds like gears and bearings. Have you checked the differential or transfer case?
