    ive started noticing something similar, tell me what you think.....i am stock, factory rake,just rolled 70,000 i havent packed my bearings, or done my winter checklist yet either.
    what im hearing is at lower speeds than mentioned thru this thread. as im driving thru town, or wherever, at 30 mph, when im comming up to a stop sign, for example, shortly after i start to apply my brakes, or even when i just let off the gas, i "hear" a sound like the transmission whinening down. its not grinding, it sounds smooth, not clunky. i also notice this noise when coasting down hill. but when im going UP a hill, and let off the gas, i dont hear this noise. it is very similar type sound as a bad brake pad rubbing on a rotor, kinda.......
    i dont hear that well anymore after a surgery i had, but i do hear this, above the constant ringing, and pulse i have in my ear. i dont really have a clue as to wether it has gotten louder, or my hearing has gotten better enough for me to notice this noise, but now that i know its there, its got me in OCD mode, and i am listening to it intenly trying to determine where its coming from, and if it sounds "bad" or normal, which again, is hard to do when you dont hear in stereo, so to speak. but it "feels" like its coming from t.o.d, or tranny.
    it sounds like its a pretty common noise. but like i said, im not lifted, and most of the previous post are from lifted vx's. oh, my tires are inflated properly too.
    SUGGESTIONS??? check my fluids, and roll with it?
    thanks guys for any input
    and if your a veteran, it goes double......

    I think that is a great start. Check fluids or change them, grease all fittings, repack bearings first; then diagnose. Who knows, you might find something when you get underneath it...

    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
