666 The number of the beast. 666 The one for you and me.
I gotta dust that album off....been a few years since I've listened to
Maiden. Those were the days...
Around lunch today I'll be raising the truck and:
-check for movement of the tires as suggested, and
-turn the tires w/engine off to see if it makes noise.
The other thought I have is that something is wrong with the drive train.
However, no vibration can be felt, the power feels like its there, and no
lamps are lit. I also haven't noticed any decrease in gas mileage, though I
haven't accurately checked it. I checked the fluids last week and all
checked out.
Thanks again, and I'll report what I find this afternoon.
