I am getting a metal to metal sound which sounds like a pully that is hitting metal somewhere, the sound only happens at 1400-1600 rpm it goes away above and below that, I also removed all of the belts to make sure it wasnt a pully or bearings inside the alternator and it is still making the noise, does anyone else have any ideas before i tear into it any further, any suggestions would help.

anyone have any ideas almost sounds like a bearing going out it is coming from the drivers side of the engine bay but could be echoing from somewhere

 

anyone any input would be appreciated i have searched all day and came up with nothing helpfull

 

A shot in the dark. Not clear on your situation, but sounds like a possible case of exhaust on exhaust action.
Heatshield against a part of your exhaust.

 

I actually found a bolt on the cat that was not completely tightened but I broke a valve cover bolt and am waiting on a new one so I can start it up, I will let everyone know if that fixed it or not, it would be great if it did, but the sound was comming from neer the pullys. Thanks for the input, anyone else?

 

mine makes a similar noise while turning form a dead stop

 

yours is most likely axles, if you havnt replaced them yet they are only like 40 bucks with a core and you get a liftime warranty at autozone

 

40 each or both?

 

my local autozone had them for 40 dollars each with a core this was 2 years ago though.
