Gear Whine, is it normal??

[kehecross]

I just purchased a 2000 Vcross with about 63K on it. I have had several 4WD vehicles but never noticed the gear whine like on this beast.
When accelerating it sounds great, but as soon as I let off the accelerator the gears start whining. When I decelerate it gets downright loud!!
Is this the norm??
It sounds a lot like my 6X6 Pinzgauer!!!

Check your tire pressures! Try to keep them within 2lbs. I get a gear whine when slowing down if one of the front tires is low on air.

Also, get on your knees in front of your VX. After thanking the Lord for blessing you with such a sweet ride, look at your front axle. Are all 4 of the CV boots in good shape. When one of my inners went TU, it sounded like a lawn mower whenever decelerating. By the time I found it, the boot was torn in half, there was no grease in the CV and the joint was toast.
