Transmission making a screeching noise- Had the transmission replaced at 159,000 miles. While driving with the new trans, as i was going up a hill the truck downshifted and made this screeching noise. (This doesn't happen all the time. Just randomly)
Oil Light comes on- Ever since we bought the truck, it has been leaking oil. We checked the oil every week and everything was fine. When the transmission went out, we decided to get the replacement and also get the rear main seal done on it. When we got it back from the mechanic, there was a ticking noise, as if it were low on oil. I checked the oil and it was fine. Even put some in it just in case. Later i was driving it about 10 miles from my house, only to hear this ticking noise with the pace of the RPM's. Called up the mechanic from the side of the road. Said to put a quart of oil in it and drop it off at the shop. He tells us that the truck is fine. Its not leaking oil and that the truck had more oil then it needed. Also everynow and then, we get the smell of oil through the air vents in the interior of the truck. Maybe thats a sign of burning oil??
Truck heating up- This issue has been happening for quite a while. Local mechanic said we needed to replace the fan clutch. Had that replaced and the truck still heats up when we drive it for more than 20 or so miles. The truck has the proper amount of coolant so i dont know what can be causing this.
Here is a video of the truck heating up. We had just finished pumping gas after about a 20 minute city drive.
