“While traveling at approximately 45 MPH through curves and hills, with various levels of load on the engine and drive train, a loud buzzing/whining noise was being produced from the engine area accompanied with speedometer failure when engine and transmission were put under load. When engine and drive train were under no load (coasting), the speedometer would operate normally. Inspection of engine/transmission and final drive fluids revealed everything to be within specifications. …”
