Default Whining when I drive

Over the last couple weeks iv noticed some sort of a whine when I drive. It's not coming from my engine I don't think because when flip it in nuetral it doesn't go away. It's relative to my speed because it gets louder when I go faster. I don't think is my drive shaft cuz I had that replaced last year. I'm thinkin it's either my tranny or transfer case but I don't know why there acting up. I need some help in this one.

I have the same whining when i drive.

I do 1 of 2 things:

1: Turn the radio up.
-or-
2: Turn the radio down and tell the old lady to STFU.

Check fluid levels in the axles, trans, and TC.

That is a start.
And besides, you should check em anyway, right?

Does it whine more when you turn the wheel? If so it could be your power-steering. My Bronco whines a lot because I have a leak somewhere. Check it out. If it's not that I don't have a clue.
