Hey, just wanted to let you know, that the Torque Convertor just went out on my truck, and that you should be looking out for that. I’m looking into replacing it soon, maybe in a month or so as i have another vehicle but i just wanted to let ya know.

I had the same issue with my Rebel when it was less than a year old. The first winter I had a chirp/whine audible at idle. I quickly swapped the belt and felt all the idlers. The idlers felt fine and the belt didn't resolve anything. Scheduled some time at the dealer and when I got there, the noise went aware. Go figure.

The noise also went away for a couple of days after that dealer visit. They said no belt dressing was used, so I was puzzled. Then it came back when we had another cold spell of weather. It was a warm and raining that day at the dealer. I never rescheduled and it would come and go depending on the temperature outside. Cold weather it whined/chirped. Warmer weather it was gone. I suspected a slight pulley misalignment that was apparent with cold weather.

I never found out what it was since it only chirped in cold winter weather and I traded the truck that following summer. I had issues with the air ride and dealing with that nitrogen setup. I had no interest in keeping it when the air ride problems started coming up.
