I hope for your sake it won't be anything complicated or expensive too.  The reason I mentioned tranny is because of the fact it don't whine free wheeling but I sincerely hope I'm wrong since rear end is the other possibility. U joints would be the cheaper of the alternatives.  Hope it ends up to be just one of those pesky little noises that a car can make that really don't mean anything though.

The ring and pinion (inside the rear end) would be my next place to check, especially with the difference between load and no load on it.  Check for the proper lube level.

my personal speed limit isn't what it once was... probably a good thing i didn't have this when i was 18 tho, cuz i found it still hugs the road pretty well at 125!

that said, mister cocky pants (no pics, no car)... here are the pics, though i still haven't washed it up...

Okay...call me dense, but what's so special about this car...interior looks standard....exterior appears to be non-descript. 
Looks like I've come full circle.

that thing's got a HEMI! :biggrin:

it's the badass of the sedan world... and the one we settled on is a bit less flashy than some are in the paint, but it's got it where it counts...

:eek:Oh to have had that when I was in my 20's, or even 30's for that matter...... :drool1:  Had a 442 once but the oil pan was shallow and it wouldn't do sustained speed.  4 on the floor and I could speed shift it by the sound of the engine...who needs a tach.  Never did strip the gears doin' it either..... :biggrin:  Did put a 2nd gear out in a Studebaker once speed shiftin' it though.  :-\  :rolleyes:
