All,

Its been a while since Iv'e posted. I guess Rodeo's are such great vehicles that I have had few problems.

It was cold tonight in CA and I went out to get a pizza and I heard a high pitched whining noise coming from my engine bay. I shifted it into neutral and it did not go away and when i parked I looked in the engine compartment and it is definitely coming from there.

It was dark and I did not have access to any stuff but will use my stethoscope this weekend to search for the exact cause or area.

You all are so smart i thought that one of you might have seen this before,

I of course thought of alternator bearings, belts. etc. Does the cooling fan have its own set of bearings. It really did not sound like any bearings I have heard before which sound like screeching, this was more like a high pitched whine which increased when i opened the throttle.

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

your pal
