Whinning noise and now no drive or reverse
06 w/136k. About 2 months ago my truck would ever so often make a slight whinning noise upon acceleration and recently its more constant. It would also shut off upon slight acceleration so I'd pull over, throw it in P and crank her up and keep going. Well today I was doing about 70 and slowed to 50 for a red light but when I went to speed up the RPMs would move but not the truck. I pulled over for a brief second to pinch myself to make sure this was really happening cause I was an hour away from home. I started back on the shoulder of the road going maybe 10 at the most so I stopped again but when I hit the gas........nothing. Not even 2nd or 1st. Luckily a coworker was passing so he pulled me to a tranny shop in hopes they'll call me in a day or 2 and tell me it's minor (wishful thinking). Has anyone or does anyone know what this could be because the tranny has never given me problems ? Thanks in advance

Mine **** the bed at 40k miles from the planetary gears coming apart and chewing everything up in the case, so I'm interested to see how yours turns out. Had a reman put in under warranty. Dealerships price would have been $3500 without the warranty.

Definitely nothing minor. Your trans has failed.

Was the whine you were getting happening while in gear under a load while accelerating. I get the same whine that only happens when I floor it and the rpm 's are up. If I back off a little it goes away. It sounds like an air intake leak but I have checked everything and have found nothing. Truck is an 06 4x4 with 5.4 and only has 62,000 miles. Tranny goes in and out of gear fine and shifts good too. But it sounds here like you can't trust that.
