    I would record some more footage soon and see if it happens. If it does, perhaps something is bad with the internals.

    The Jameson factory is pretty cool. Try to be one of the few people who get to do the tasting game. My stepdad did and was able to taste a bunch of different whiskeys. I didn't do the Guinness tour as I didn't want to spend the money and a brewery is a brewery. I heard the tasting room has a killer view of the city though.

    Which model?

    Have you tried the SOS function? It's better documented here.

    Im thinking my sd card could be tango uniform. I will work on it tomorrow.

    I cant wait! Ive never been further east than Arkansas. Im taking buses and trains around the country and plan on having a bottle 'o' J at all times. I will probably have some liver damage from this trip.

    Okay, I've tried searching but nothing is coming up that seems like the right answer.

    since i bought the truck, ive noticed a bit of drone when cruising on the freeway. It's RPM dependent. it seems like it's coming from underneath, can't tell if it's exhaust or drivetrain. It has a 'humm' noise/pitch to it that gets worse around 70-75mph. I know its underneath cause when I have the backseats down for the dogs, its worse. Normally didn't annoy me, but driving to LA and back really got apparent that something might be going on.

    if anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it. I have the 75k drivetrain warranty, I might take it to the dealership tomorrow.

    I think that's Tar...Te...I can't remember his damn name. 09friscotaco or some shit I think is his username.

    Edit: On second thought, no that's not him. I think he had Fox sticker on his rear window.

    The Guinness is amazing there. So fresh and no US version can match it. I hitch hiked around the southern portion of the country with my friend. Absolutely beautiful and the people are amazing. Buses are cheap enough, but the alcohol isn't so much. Damn Euro screwed me when I was there and the pound in Northern Ireland was worse. Cost me $7 for a 6" subway sandwich after conversion. Let me know if you need any suggestions. I can't remember everywhere we went, but I can look into it. The Cliffs of Moar (spelling?) are gorgeous so don't pass that up.

    The town of Wicklow has nice cliffs too. It's not too far south of Dublin.

    If you like music, definitely get to Cork.

    Take care when describing symptoms.

    Without a sample of the noise and accurate description, we can't help with understanding what the real underlying problem.

    If it's strictly RPM dependent it's likely to be powertrain (engine/exhaust) dependent. However, if it's strictly speed dependent, it's going to be drivetrain (transmission, shafts, transfercase (if you're 4wd), diffs, cvs, bearings, wheel balance).

    Since both speed and RPM were noted to affect the symptom, it's difficult to determine what the actual issue is.

    Did some grown man shopping today. Got nice dress pants and shirts as well as some really nice dress shoes. Allen Edmond strands in bourbon calf. Mmmm

    Walked out of Nordstrom to see the girl in the Tacoma next to me pulling out. Oh Lordy lord.
