Message:
Ok, dakota 4.7 4x4 with ztube and auto. At startup when cold it is fine....drive around and get warmed up to normal temps and a screech starts. Not at idle, and not when getting on it? Only like 1000-2000rpm(approx). Its not the belt, I tried lubing it up....not the intake, i removed it and it was still there??? Sounds like a screech/whine/fast ringing type of sound. Any ideas would be great. thanks chris

my 99 3.9 sometimes squeaks when it is warm but it does it when i give it a little gas, like just tapping on it to hear the exhaust. but other than that it does not make any noises. i checked everything that you did except for removing the intake, if it keeps doin it you may want to have it checked out.

Ok, well the screech sounds more like a jingle almost. I took to the dealer and today they ordered a new alternator for it, and a fan hub. It sounds like its coming from the alternator/belt area. It only does it from like 1k-2k rpms when completely warmed up. Ill post when they get the parts in, and if it corrects the problem.

IF YOU CAN GRAB A FAN BLADE AND THE FAN WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH, ITS THE FAN BEARING.
THE FAN HAS A VISCOUS HUB (FILLED WITH SILICONE)
THE SILICONE LEAKS OUT AND TOASTS THE BEARING.
IF THE ALTINATOR IS WORKING AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE REPAIR YOU ARE GETTING HOSED!

i just purchased my brand new 2003 dak sport 4.7 two weeks and it makes the same noise only when warm. i dont think it has anything to do with a belt or alternator. i think it might even be normal.
