"Chirp" upon letting clutch out

Mines a 1995 3500 and recently I hear a chirp, (like a tire hop) when I start going. This occurs under normal &quot;take off&quot; without reving and such. Dry ground. I do not think its the tires but thats the only way I can describe it. Any ideas GREATLY appreciated.<br><br>Michael

Re:"Chirp" upon letting clutch out

I assume it is not a full time squeal when the clutch is depressed, so is likely not the throwout bearing.<br><br>Check the condition of your pilot bearing on the front of the transmission jackshaft where it plugs into the flywheel. They will get dry and worn, then bind a bit when the transmission is first loaded on take off. The binding only lasts a few seconds, and sometimes can make a chirping sound. <br><br><br><br>
