Default grinding when under load?
heard this tonight... i was turning up a hill and heard a grinding noise from the front. belt is tight. maybe torque converter? tranny shifts fine. also tried from a stop and only grinds if i step on it hard... any ideas?

fan blade hitting the fan shoud or radiator? could be a bad engine mount or tranny mount. just something else to check while your poking around
