whining noise?
I purchased a 98 Explorer XLT 5.0 AWD in 9/03. There is a whining noise under the hood that is there all the time that goes away at at 2000+ RPM's. It sounds like a bearing noise in the Alt or PS. It does not get louder when turning, or under electrical load and alt tests fine. The guy I bought it from says it has been there since new. It sounds like a Chev 350 with timing gears instead of timing chain. No problems, but annoying. Anyone have this noise?

if it is your Mass Air flow sensor then I suggest pricing it out yourself and replacing it yourself. I let some shop do it and it cost me neirly 200 bucks, I later found out I coulda bought one for 65 and put it in my self. Nothing better than a guy who admits to being dumb.
