I am looking at a few discoveries, and had some questions about symptoms in one of them. Im not saying "this is the one" just trying to get a handle on possiblities.
It was cold, no obvious leaks when I started it up. Backing down the driveway the rpms would drop down a bit and the motor would shake. Give it a bit of gas and it came right back up. No smoke out the back. Drove around until it warmed up without issue.
Second issue: Noise coming while steering, especially when turning left. I can just hear "something" that kinda sounds like water going through a pipe, so I am guessing something with the power steering. Could that just be caused by old fluid or is it time for a new box? Again, no obvious leaking.
Third issue: Engine noise. Rather than being quiet, it almost sounded like a diesel when going up a hill. I am guessing an intake leak and an exhaust leak, which might explain the first issue.
Transmission noise: It makes a bit of a whine while driving around. Shifts were smooth, and the transfer case worked VERY easily when switching from 4hi to 4lo. Could the whine be due to low or old fluid?
110k miles on it.
