Hey everyone i have a 61 ford f250 with a 292 y block and a t98 borg warner, when i am in second and third and four and i accelerate there is a rattling/ squealing nose! i dont know if its my diff or my exhust is lose?! it bugs the crap out of me! any ideas?! thanks guys, erik

 

Get under your truck with a rubber mallet and start looking for the noise...

 

Check the universal joints too, could be dried out brearings?

 

Mine will do that when I lug the engine. In my case ,it's the baffles in the mufflers are loose.(glaspak mufflers).Guess I'll take a hammer to them . I know ,but it works for a while. I done that on another set I had. Quiet for a while.

 

Hey Eric, does it go away or make less noise when you clutch it? Could be a throwout bearing. Does it still have the heat riser on it? Try these tests before you get out the BFH. Russ

 

A stowaway baby?

 

Is it still there when you don't have a passenger?

 

Only when i let off the clutch and start to acclerate, it rattles and squeals.

 

Wait you have a glaspak? so do i. i was thinking maybe the exhust

 

61, I know this sounds too simple but check your fan belt for the squeal. I've had it to happen...lol

 

could be a belt, but I'd say a throw-out bearing. They're just big fat sleeves, and have a grease fitting on them, load it up w/ grease, and drive on.
