TEST DRIVE NOISE

Test drove an 03 250 SD TD and noticed a significant whine noise at 1500 rpms. Noise not from engine, Truck had 250 miles on it, would suspect Trans, any thoughts? LILGUY

TEST DRIVE NOISE

this may sound silly but was it in 4wd when you test drove it? my front end is solid as a rock but it makes a whine like straight cut gears at low speeds when the hubs are locked and the transfer case engaged - above 25 or so it blends in with the rest of the noises the truck makes so it's inperceptible. Just wondering....
