'95 ranger 2.3 making whining sound
Hey, I've got a '95 ranger 4 banger, and am hearing a strange whining noise while driving. It starts out really soft and quiet but gets progressively louder and louder. only seems to happen at highway speeds (50+mph). The whining/humming sound seems to stop when I either take my foot off the gas, slow down some or throw in the clutch (5spd. manual).
Any ideas out there? I used to add a little power steering fluid and the sound seemed to go away. now that doesn't seem to work and I'm not convinced that it is the power steering pump.

Ok, so I think I know what happened to it. I had a mechanica take a test ride with me and he thinks it's the heater core of all things. Apparently ford shaped it funny so when the fluid/air goes across it at a certain speed it makes a strange sound. I'm not positive this is the problem, but it's the best I've got so far.
