So the other day I noticed a new strange sound. When I pull off from a stop there's a metallic like squeak wobble sound that seem to be coming from right behind my dash. My first thought is a bad motor mount and I can see two on each side but none on the section facing the cab. Anyone ever had this problem?

Do you think it could be from the spedo cable. Spedo is cable driven all the way from the trans. I get some squeel back in there, currently only on the coldest (below sero) of mornings.They can be dissassembled and lubed, its a pita job, stand on head under the dash type, need three hands and a reverse wrist, but can be disattached at a junction just above the brake pedal lever.

WOW! Can you try to pi point it a little more. It can be a number of thing with out knowing approx. where it is coming from. The more info the better.

It's all the info I got? It wouldn't do it if I'm parked and rev it nothing happens. It does it cold or hot, but not always. I'm gonna run it to a shop some time next week that a friend owns. Was just curious if anyone ever had this issue?

Could be the speedo cable... sometimes when they are old the can really screech while driving. But it is hard to guess noises without hearing them.

Yea, my skill levels novice at best so I'm run it over to a friend of mines shop and have him look over the whole rig if only I had focused in shop

And I'd like to add that the sound comes from center high on my dash ( well its clearly coming from the bay but yea)

Raise the hood, get in it & start it up, put it in gear with your foot hard on the brake and stab the gas pedal; did the motor flop to one side? If it did, the motor mounts (which are of poor quality anyways) are probably trashed. Also a possibility you could have broken the bolts that secure the mount to the engine.
There hasn't been a speedometer "cable" for a looooooong time so I doubt that's what it is. How long since the brakes have had any attention?

Electric speedo on this year

I just bought the jeep and the po didn't keep maintenance records

MrAnderson1987

The correct answer was that my u-joints are going bad... Well that's what a pro mechanic friend tells me instantly upon hearing the sound
