    any ideas are better than no ideas :)

    hmm pretty sure it was not in 4wd, i only really use it when i have to and not at high speeds. and i usually can tell/feel when it disengages.

    the truck ran absolutely fine today:D

    obstruction in the air intake, the exhaust system, or even the fuel system? these are just things that come to mind. But these do not explain the noise.... when you figure it out tell me, i could use another 100km/tank!

    haha thats pretty good, didnt see any frontiers near the truck though :p


    i'm thinking that it had something to do with the fuel, the place i get my fuel from gets straight gas and then adds the ethanol to the tanks. i'm thinking that maybe they might have added too much ethanol to the tanks. but i'm grasping at straws now, nothing else has shown up at all. :)
