Whining

[RhinoZ24]

So I just noticed tonight as I had my radio off which I never do, but when I accelerate I hear a whining from my engine, almost like a supercharger whine, just not as loud as I can't hear it with the radio on but I can hear it over my exhaust system. It did it as it was warming up and after it was warm. Is this just a normal thing I never noticed before, or what? 2005 4.6L, 60,300 miles.

Sounds like your power steering box. Only reason I say that is mine did the same thing. It was 100$ fer mine and took a half hr to do. They get louder. Especially when it's warm out

[RhinoZ24]

That would have been the last thing I thought of, it whines just from acceleration? Alright I'll check it out then. Thanks Joe!

Ford's have noisy power steering pumps- always have. Its normal to some degree unless it gets SUPER loud. And yes it will be varied on accel since its driven by the accessory belt of the enigne

[Jersey_Joe]

Np homes. I thought it was my tranny till I investigated and found out it was my power steering. Easy fix. Should b around a 100$

[RhinoZ24]

Well it's not super loud like I said, I just heard it last night cause I had my radio off to listen to my exhaust.

[Jersey_Joe]

Hahaha. I do the same thing. Yup. Almost makes u think its ur tranny. But I'm sure it's ur ps. It will get louder. You'll change it when ur tired of hearring it. Lol

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah eventually, I just bought $450 worth of gun haha, it'll be a bit before the pump lol.

[Jersey_Joe]

Lol. You'll b good fer awhile.

[RhinoZ24]

Yeah I don't notice anything wrong, just the slight sound.

What;d you get?

[RhinoZ24]

A Mossberg 500 pump action 12 Gauge, came with a short and long barrel, so got a pretty good deal.

[Jersey_Joe]

That is a good deal

[Raptor05121]

yes really.

[RhinoZ24]

Yup, that's why I chose that over the Remington 870.

Alright I have a 2006 lariat 5.4 with 97000k I have replaced two idlers pulleys also a belt it has that famous whining hollowing sound if a guy replaces the pump that solves it ? New to the site here

[Jersey_Joe]

Sounds like your power steering pump to me man. I changed mine a little more than a year ago and I have t heard it since. Good luck

Since we are talking about whining when I start my 03 5.4 it whines then when the rpm go down it's not as loud when you rev it it whines along with when you are accelerating up to speed but when you are up to speed you can bairly hear it is that the rear end torque converter power stirring pump? When the AC compressor went out I got a new belt after it got fixed it just started turning a lot smoother then it used to.

It's most likely your power steering pump because if it occurs at startup there's no way it's the rear end and also makes it unlikely that its the torque converter as well since you're not moving yet.

Ok thanks

[RhinoZ24]

No problem.

What do you mean rear end? Is it a howl or a whine and when does it occur? Just because it sounds like its coming from the rear end doesn't necessarily mean its the diff. Carrier bearings make noise. Could be and axle bearing as well.

Only when moving? Or does it do it when sitting still

Accel or decel? Both? All speeds?

[Ford Fan#1]

Accel or decel? Both? All speeds?I think all speed and only when accelerating

If its only on accel chances are its on the drive side of the ring and pinion gear.

Yes. Its an expert job. Definitely not for the don't yourselfer unless you have a good bit of experience and specialty tools. Getting the backlash set correctly can be hard.

Get a flashlight and look really good under your truck. Make sure there's not a prius stuck anywhere.
