The high pitch is coming from the wheel and the tire pressure is good.

I do not know how to check the wheel bearing and any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Idling fast

My 87 cab is idling at about 1500 rpm since I rebuilt the engine. Any ideas on how to get it back down to 7-8000 rpm? I adjusted the accelerator cable, but it was still high.

Slowly Dying

I just finished rebuilding the engine of my cab and now I am getting some weird electrical problems. The car starts with the voltmeter about right but then it slowly drains way into the red. Then it will not restart without a jump. The battery is good. Also, a weird symptom is that this problem can ...
