We got the van back today. They found they didn't reconnect the breaks properly, so, they fixed that for us. Good thing because I might want the van to stop when I reach Florida.
The main reason for taking the van to the mechanic was due to a high pitch whistle heard around 55mph. The mechanic couldn't hear it, therefore, he couldn't fix it.
After we picked up the van, we decided to drive it around to see if we could still hear the noise. We drove it for about an hour and the faint noice came and went, usually between 55mph and 60mph. The longer we drove, the louder the noise became. If we pressed the accelerator, we would sometimes hear the noise. As soon as we took our foot off the accelerator, the noise stopped.
The noise is faint, but high pitched. And after listening to it for several hours, I'm sure I'll have a splitting headache. But I'm not sure how I will be able to explain this sound to the mechanic. And I'm sure he isn't going to be interesting in driving the van for an hour so the intermittent sound can get loud enough that he might be able to hear it.
I'm afraid the van might have to go to Florida with this noise.
