I have a ‘97 Chev Blazer. I had transmission rebuilt. Not even a week after having this done, I start hearing a sound (that literally sounds like an airplane) coming from the front of the car. It ONLY happens when the car is going 45+ mph. When I slow down it gets louder & then you hear a "klunk’ when you come to a complete stop. It then will stop until you get back up to that speed again. Any idea what in the world this could be? Someone suggested a 4WD problem. It is not the wheel bearings. I had new tires put on and checked right after this problem started. HELP!! Could it have anything at all to do with the transmission that they rebuilt? ---

Whatever it is I would get it back to the trans shop. Too much of a coincidence that it just started after having the rebuild done. ---

I did - they have had it for 2 weeks now “unsure of what it is, still checking”. They tried saying it was in the transfer case but I let them know right then that I was not putting that much more money into it. Then they talked about a possible cable being frozen. I called today and have not had a call back yet. Very frustrating! ---

Sounds like they got a bearing installed incorrectly or something like this. WHat you may be hearing is either gear whine or a bearing…and it was probably caused by them dismantling your tranny and putting it back together wrong or with something out of spec. ---

Recip or turbine? Seriously, get it back there pronto. ---

They called today and said it was a hose that had been put on wrong. ??? Guess they retraced their steps and figured out what they had done. I knew it had to be something that they had done because it had never made that noise EVER! Hopefully that will be the resolution to the problem. ---
