***Constant Transmission Whine***

***Constant Transmission Whine***
What could be causing this?
I know it's the trans. because it only happens when I shift into gear.
Even while at a complete stop In gear, I can hear it, while stopped (in gear) it's not to loud, but as I take off from a stop and accelerate, the faster I go the louder it gets.
I just had my trans. fluid changed because of this. I thought that would be the cure, but nothing! It's still there.
My truck also hesitates at full throttle shifting from first to second, In case that helps.
Could it be my Transfer case?
I actually had a guy stop me the other day and ask me if my truck was Supercharged.......I told him yes.

I can't see where the transfer case could cause a hesitation. I've got bad feelings about what you have described if you have eliminated the obvious, low power steering fluid, belt etc. It sounds more like Toque converter going south. Or the transmission. Any codes? Could be a simple electronic problem. Sorry, not much help here. I'll check my dvd manual for the 05 and see if i can find any useful info that may help you out. If so I'll chime back in.

I'm more than sure it's the trans. I just had the fluid replaced to try and fix the problem, but it didn't even phase it, still loud as hell.
The trans. doensn't shift wrong or hard, So who knows.

Nice post wrench007! That covers it all. I see that they also note in there to check for modifications. I agree with the others who said that you should take it in and let them decide if it's something that was caused by your modifications. What's the worst that can happen? They refuse to fix it under warranty? Then you are right back to where you are now, and you will know what the problem is. In order for them to refuse to fix it, they have to find out what it is and prove that a modification caused the problem. It shouldn't cost you more than the labor to find the problem.

Edit- Looks like they went in after all, sorry for the double post.
