I'm hearing a very loud whining noise that starts when I hit about 45mph but as the truck gets hot the noise starts at a lower mph. At first I thought it was the tires as I am not used to the larger ones but the tires are not getting hot and look fine. Any suggestions?

Check to see if there's anything loose underneath the car that could get pushed into your tires as you speed up it happened to me it was the wheel well plastic guarding that was torn off and hitting the tire at faster speeds.

What is making this 08 caliber 2.0L sxt cvt have a High pitched whining sound at idle and driving?

Possible bearing in one of the drive pulleys. I have changed numerous alternators for this noise. Take the belt off and start the car. If the noise goes away you know it will be pulley related and not transmission related. If noise goes away, spin all pulleys by hand to determine the defective/noisy one

2002 Duramax with high miles, 335k. Truck was running fine then on the way out of the driveway heard a loud "pop", engine lost power but continued to run. Now, I hear a turbo whine I didnt hear before when...

Start at the turbo and check for loose or blown air lines . Check the intercooler for cracks. The turbo whine is normal but you would not be hearing it as the turbo is controlled to vary the amount of boost needed for the throttle setting. If you have to use starting fluid to start a diesel then it is time to consider a re-ring and bearings for the engine.

Vw sharan loud whistling from front of car

Theres many holes on the fire wall for the wires to come through from the engine to behind the dashboard, one could be missing the rubber around it or one could be missing, also you may likely have a leak on your windshield, you can get some black silicone and patch it with it, same for the dashboard.

There is a loud noise at 45mph.

Find a quiet empty stretch of road. Go 50 mph, put the trans in NEUTRAL and shut the engine. If noise is still there, swing car left and right to detect noise differences. Could be hub or axle bearings. Not engine or trans if noise is still there. Hope this helps

Loud noise in back end

lift the car up and check the wheel bearings by turning the wheels manually. Listen for any clicking noises. Move the wheel back and forth pulling it toward you. There is not supposed to be any movement or noise on the wheel if the bearings are good. if you do see any movement or hear any noises , replace the wheel bearings
