So after driving with and without the blower motor on for a while, the noise seems to be connected. When the fan setting is off, there isn’t any chirping. But when the fan is set to on, it does make a chirp sounds ever so often. But the noise definitely comes from the outside, and is much more...

I’ll definitely try that, thanks! Perhaps it is the blower motor because from what I’ve seen, a bad wheel bearing makes a constant noise while driving, while my noise is only intermittent while driving.

Yeah, I’ve watched a few videos on how to replace the wheel bearing and it doesn’t look too bad. My biggest concern is getting the 12 point bolts out. But I’m sure it can be done. Good point about both sides, I hadn’t thought of that.

Would I hear that sound coming from outside of the Jeep? I’m fairly certain the noise is coming from outside.

Yes, I definitely did today. Not sure if I did on other occasions, but most likely.

Yeah, I couldn’t possibly see any harm in that 😆 I’ve uploaded two clips to YouTube: If you have any thoughts, let me know

Oh sorry, I wasn’t aware that it forces you to download. I thought it opens the link in a new browser window. I will check out the ChrisFix video. Thanks for the info!

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to tap into the vast wealth of expertise on this forum. I have a chirping noise that occurs when I’m driving only. To me it sounds like it could be a wheel bearing but I’m not really sure and I’m certainly not an expert. Every time it makes the chirping sound it feels...

Hey thanks for the reply! Yes the pictures were uploaded in order. I’m very certain the oil cooler is leaking. I plan on replacing it myself with the aluminum version but unfortunately I don’t have a garage and have to wait until the weather gets warmer. I was just shocked on how I’ve lost a...

After checking the oil twice again today when the engine was cold the dip stick is reading in the X’s, so I think I’m safe. Thanks again for the advice!

I believe when I had checked it this morning, when the engine was cold, it was in the X’s but I didn’t take a picture. You're awesome, thanks a lot for the quick reply!

Okay, good to know. I appreciate it! So when the engine is cold, where should the ideal reading be on the dipstick? Is it in the middle? I will try it again tomorrow, and post a pic.

These checks were done 5 mins after shutting off and on a level surface.

And attached is the third reading. (All these readings were done 5 minutes after the engine was running at temp)

I’m getting different readings each time I check the dipstick. These photos are from readings that were done right after each other. Attached is the second reading.
