First post on these forums, actually found the forums looking for performance parts for my R/T.
I've had my R/T since early January and after the first week I started to notice a wierd whistling/metal on metal noise coming from underneath the engine. I originally thought it might be the breaks, so when I got home from work I pulled it into the garage and put it in park and started revving the engine. The sound only seems to come when applying the throttle, so there goes my breaks theory. Also it only makes the whistling noise when the car is fully warmed up, it will not make the noise when its still cold. I explained the noise to my dad who builds hot rods and he seemed to think it might be an exhaust leak.
I took it to the service dept here in Vegas @ Towbin Dodge. After three hours of waiting they told me they didn't hear anything. I brought it back a week later because the noise is really starting to bug me. Again they told me they couldn't hear it, so I made the service manager come outside and I demonstrated the noise for him which he finally heard. He told me it was probably fluid transfer to the transmission which I believe is bull****.
Has anyone else noticed this whistling noise while accelerating or am I just going crazy?
