Sometimes when the TC is going out, especially with the 4.6is it gets a whine under load that sounds kinda like a supercharger whine.

Weasel, again many thanks. I will check the vacuum hose this weekend. The only whining I hear from the 4.6 is my wife telling me to slow down.

Seriously tho fortunately I have not heard what you describe. I am going to monitor it and see if it happens again. In the meantime I am going to buy myself an ODBII diagnostic device, any reccomendations??
