Whining noise

Asked by GuruTYK5T Jun 16, 2018 at 04:38 PM about the 2005 Chevrolet Colorado Base RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My truck makes a loud whining noise only when
accerlating and only starts at around 40mph just
wondering what it could be

1 Answer

Not sure but be on the lookout for an alternator that may be getting ready to go. I just lost one and that was the first time I have heard alternator whine since the 70's. Unfortunately, it's not the only thing that can whine but in the distant past it was probably the most common.
