    She's at the dealership to have it replaced, still under warranty so I didn't put any wrenches to it.

    on the bright side, they gave me a brand new tacoma trd offroad to play around in till my trucks done

    My trucks at the dealership for the seal leak posted in the pictures above. They are aware of the whine via video I have and they will drive it obviously to hear it first hand. Sales manger said, no that's not normal he'll get service to look into that also. Trucks still under warranty.

    to address your bullet points,

    1st- I believe that's where its coming from, never tried the neutral part but my whine continues through 70+, start to hear it around the 30 mark under acceleration. Anything under 30 you just hear the mesh screen whistle and exhaust mostly. Which is normal so it doesn't bother me so bad to remove it.

    2nd- My metal skid is missing a bolt in the front :rofl: but I would be amazed on that being the issue. I don't put nothing pass noises though.

    3rd- I tried a/c off and on, sound is still present.

    At least you got them to a knowledge it and it’s under warranty that’s a win-win my friend.
    :cheers:

    Called the dealership around lunch today to see if they pulled my truck in yet. The seal coming out the transfer case is fixed (pictures above). I asked about the whine noise I was hearing during acceleration. He said, yea we heard it and have a whole new rear end on order :eek2:, should be in on Monday.

    So I would say at this moment this thread has been solved. And thankful I still have warranty lol.

    2 weeks in a Tundra and I'm here for the good times ahead :drunk:
