Hey my first post here on the forum so bare with the typo's..lol..I just bought a 1987 dakota with only 84,000 miles. Everything seems to be ok exept when i am giving it gas going down the hiway it sounds like a loud whining coming from something in the front end but i dont think it's a wheel bearing or anything like that because it won't do it unless you have your foot on the pedel and as soon as you let off the petal it's gone..To give you an idea it sound like a loud tire noise or the way a wheel bearing going south would. But would either make it do it only when giving it some fuel?Thank's in advance btw it's a 3.9 with the 3 speed auto..While i am at it how do you adjust the linkage from the throttle body to the tranny?Mine shifts from first to 3rd before you get to 10mph..any idea's

It would make sense that it was a bearing to me. if you give the pickup some gas and start accelerating, the two front wheels start spinning up as well to match that speed adding stress on the bearing. They may be in the begining stages of failure. You might double check to make sure that they are in good shape and well packed with grease.
I dont want to tell you wrong about the linkage adjustment. But my all save is the haynes manual I bought for my pickup. They are like 15 or 20 bucks but pay for themselves quickly.
