Hey, everyone. New here, but not new to forums or cars

My 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood was just totaled by flooding, so I took the insurance check and bought a 2009 CVPI with 99k miles. Test drove it around town and on the highway. Drove 57 miles home, no problems.

This morning, I head out to wash it and buy fresh oil ... and there is a distinct whining noise coming from the front end. Sounds like a tiny dirt bike and shifting between gears is sloppy. The noise increases with engine speed, but it only happens when in gear/driving or after driving and in park. In park or neutral, there is no noise.

I checked the trans fluid, it is in the zone and looks clean. My first guess is that it's the pump... thoughts?

Thanks
JD

It could be the steering pump, or the alternator. Try listening to those close up before heading into the trans. It could save you MONEY.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos
