im just guessing because the whirring sound is loud. previously never heard it that loud or muffled by the diesel engine. just plain old vroom vroom diesel engine sound pushing the ranger.

sometimes pressing the accel the sound "wheeeeeeeeee" is loud & clear. even in the cabin with all windows up & aircond full blast. one of my fren  told the same thing happen to his ford ranger & it was the turbocharger turbine spoilt.

thanks for the information. havent gone to any mech or worksyop to check yet because i need the pickup for my  job until end of the moth.

my current freelance job takes me to worksite that is inaccessible without 4wd. estate road, small stream, heavily eroded jalan tanah merah  uphill all got man.

hope it wont take a large slice of my paypacket. crossing fingers huhu as i dont have a steady income in this trying economy time.
