does it get louder the faster you go? constant? or random

 

Sounds like you just need to drive fast enough to drown out the sound.
This is also for safety. The faster you drive the less time you have to get into an accident.

 

Ted just proved this wrong a few months ago!

 

I know I'm tripling this offer from the Sac area, but if anyone needs anything that i can provide, don't hesitate to reach out. i have a couple couches, a spare bedroom, tools, food, water, etc. Just let me know what i can do.

 

Good chance its just the dura tracs. Mine hot louder as they got older. When i put new tires on i was shocked how loud they were.

 

I’m way the hell down here but happy to help if anyone needs it. Also not sure what size you are @IronPeak but I have a ton of XL shirts I don’t wear if you need clothes. Happy to send them up.

 

Currently accepting donations of used women’s undergarments.

 

You should specifiy used but not washed.

 

FIFY

 

Sealed in bags to prevent smoke odors.

And preserve other odors.

 

I'm going to try to make it up to help out either today or tomorrow. I've already got my SHTF bag but packing some extra bags now and going to make a food/water run

 

I’d steer clear today. Still having thousands of people evacuating, fire is still raging. Not over yet, or close to it.

 

That’s what I’m hoping for. Getting the tires rotated as we speak. If it is a wheel bearing, is there any auto parts store that stocks them pressed? I’d like to just buy two and replace them both if one is bad. Figured I’d have to do it sooner or later.

 

Guilty...

 

Now the news is saying one death so far at the fires...and red cross asking for help.

 

It’s faint up until 50. Then it’s a hollow howling noise. I thought it was my Prinsu adjusted the fairing and got rid of that theory.

Only think I can think of is it’s similar to when I had a bad rear end, replaced under warranty back in 2013. But it’s not as ‘grinding’ as that sound and it’s really only bad after 50mph.

The fact that it’s faint and gets worse with speed tells me it might be a wheel bearing. I posted here a few months ago thinking it was transmission but driving down the road at 55 I’ll pop into neutral to get stress off the trans and it still makes noise.

I don’t have a front Diff so it can’t be that.

 

Yeah only reason I'm going to is because red cross is needing volunteers to help with evacs and supplies

 

and offering payment for mens?

 

Just read a FB from a friend. They live in Santa Rosa and had just finished upgrades to their home. Expecting a child soon too. House is gone-they had just moments to leave.

 

I would call the red cross, find out where they need you. And get a email confirmation. Otherwise chp is gonna tell you to kick rocks..theyre sending golden gate units from Oakland to help.its fucked up there..
