weird noise...ughh..
Ok, sooo a friend and I had a little adventure last night : ) and well.. we had some fun in the mud and so afterwards, I was smart and washed the engine and the brakes and the undercarriage, but now the engine makes a low just ugly noise when it revs between 1000 and 1700... once it goes over or under that, it sounds just fine! ... I wish I knew how to explain the noise, it just... well, you can feel it in the pedals and its consistant if you keep it reved at that RPM. I don't know what to do... any advise would be great... Thanks!

RE: weird noise...ughh..
When my friend got the same problem with his Jetta and brought it to a mechanic he was tod that he have a broken VW motor mount and that needs to be replaced... So my suggestion is to check your motor mount... By the way, How many miles on the truck, how often you you lube the u-joints? Do you have a roto flex on your rear axle, is it cracked? Because a roto flex is a black rubber connector that connects the rear drive shaft to the rear axle. They have a tendency to crack and split. Take a good look and see what condition it is in... Good luck!!!

RE: weird noise...ughh..
First off... I am incompetent when it comes to maintence... I try, but I'm just not good at it..
there are now currently almost 42,000 miles on it.. I've had that noise since around 35-36,000 miles...
I have no idea what a crank pulley... :S
Shes in the shop getting some work done because she is still leaning!!!!.. and she is leaking some oil.. I think it was because I didn't tighten something tight enough when i did my own oil change.. :S
She also makes the noise when the AC is on.. well, the noise is constant with the AC... and you hear it more once you rev up...(with out w/o the AC on)
I'll call the dealership tomorrow morning and ask them to check the motor mounts. Speaking of U-joints... I had them "serviced" at the dealership, and they could only service the rear ones.... is that correct????
Thank you!.. I know this one is long! Sorry!

The crankshaft pulley is the largest pulley on the bottom frontof the motor. It is right below the fan/water pump.It has a harmonic balancer attached to it that dampens any vibrations in the engine. It is attached to the crankshaft. If there is anything causing it to be unbalanced, you will get vibrations and cause harmonics at different RPM. If it is at the dealer, I am sure they will check this, but mention it to them just in case.
