2007 Ford Ranger Sport 3.0L
Well, I had his intermittent chirping noise coming from my engine bay for a thousand miles or so and I chose to ignore it because it was very faint.
About a week ago the sound started to get out of hand. I took it to the dealership and their initial diagnosis was a camshaft sensor going bad. So I scheduled an appointment and came back.
So the tech installed new sensor (I'm still under powertrain warrantee btw) and it continued to make the annoying chirping sound. They further diagnosed the sound and it's coming from the transmission.
I only have 51,000 miles on my truck and I'm already having transmission issues? This truck is babied with all synthetic liquids, nearly ever redlinded, and kept in prestine condition. Could I have a faulty transmission from the factory? Do they use the same transmission between the 2.3L and the 3.0L with suddle changes and I got one not assembled correctly? Because I've NEVER heard of these kind of early issues on a 3.0L powertrain.
I'm so upset because that trucks my baby lol
