Hi -I'm new here and shopping the many 2021 Classic Warlocks coming off 3yr leases-
A few days ago, test drove a 2021 Classic Warlock V6 4X4: 33,000 miles, 3.55 differential.
Carfax and inspection indicated truck has been well-maintained.
After 15" on the road, shifted into reverse and heard a distinct consistent whine while backing from what sounded like the differential.
I was backing at a normal speed.
Didn't sound horrible, but very noticeable. Unusual to me -but maybe that's just how the gears sound in reverse(?)
Mentioned to salesman -they didn't say much.
Today, did same test drive on another 2021 Classic Warlock, 31,000 miles, 3.55 differential with the Anti-Spin option.
When backing this truck, there was a faint and intermittent whine -there but not nearly as noticeable.
Q:
Is the differential whine common in reverse for the 3.55 differential?
ie: Should there be NO whine, therefore a big concern? Should I walk away or insist it be addressed by the dealer before buying?
I plan to discuss it with the dealer's service mgr -but hope to gain additional perspective here first.
Thanks for your time.
