Ok, after going through the videos on different noises, I told my customer to take it to Volvo dealer and have transmission checked, I had not heard that high of a whining sound and only while in gear. The next week, her check engine light came on and she took it and alot of oil residue had built up and the system had to be cleaned. I wrote the code down but i don;t have it with me right now, and it cost $500 to repair, at the Volvo place, BUT It was the Turbo making the noise. All this was done and oil changed, the guy at the Volvo place said this had happened over time and oil passageways had been blocked and that the turbo had been (oil starved) is how he put it. The turbo is still making a noise but it is a different noise now and not as bad? sounds more like a high wind blowing through a window that is only opened a tiny bit. Any other thoughts on this. I kind of wish the Volvo place had pursued the turbo noise more but they didn;t. Any thoughts on how to stop that noise? My customer had said she had to replace a turbo on a Volvo she had owned 15 years ago??? It was expensive!

Thanks for responding. I drove it again today. It is a whinning noise, almost like something may be spinning? I think maybe trans, I am not an expert there but i know it’s not a belt and all the pulleys are working properly and i can only get it to make the noise when i am driving it and pushing the gas pedal hard. Won;t do it sitting in the parking lot in park or neutral> I am going to check the link out you guys suggested and see what i can find! Again, thanks for the help!! ETCG< thanks for reading my post!!

Well. I went over to the ranger to add another ground and it started up right off. I then use my heavier gage wire to make a new ground from the negative battery pole connector to a bolt on the AC compressor. The connection was good and clean and again the car started right up and the voltage went to 14.2 while running so. I cut it off and there was 12.9 volts on the battery when I cut it off. It started right back up. I cut it off again and it started right back up./ So I left it at that. hopefully the new ground will do the job.

I know, it can seem like self imposed torture sometimes. Someone else put another engine in the truck a while back and i don;t know everything he did but we’ll see what the owner will say . What else he wants to do. I wanted to move on to a couple of more issues

thanks wysetech, it’s been done all grounds checked and changed. not sure what else could have been done before i started looking at it. Why would the direct ground the the air compressor work over the battery negative itself> What else could be shorting things out??

Oh well, ???? something not right about the wiring on the 99 fore ranger. Owner wanted me to go ahead and check on getting another cable or check deeper to see what might be going on. I go to advance, and get a battery test, and the test runs but the battery fails, it only had 6 CCA I call the owner tell him and we buy a new battery. I had already checked all the grounds So buy a new battery $100 have already bought new starter $100.00 and after battery installed, it clicked once then started. The manger of Advance and I look at each other kind of whew. and then I cut it off and it started right up two more times. We think issue solved. I get home cut the truck off and click.. Nothing. click click click, so i hook it up to jumper cable on my car and hook the cable up to air compressor bolt again and boom fires right up. ???????????? New starter from failed bench test, now battery replaced . but also failed????? Not sure what next.

Ok enough on that. Went and changed the ground to a better connection, substituted my battery from my car, same thing. fires up really good as long as the negative jumper cable is hooked up to the bolts on the air compressor. Will probably get new cable. on to other things
