1997 Land Cruiser 80K miles.
I had a rear main main seal replaced recently. Since then, I've heard a weird, thin sounding grinding noise when accellerating uphill at 50-60mph. It goes away if the rpm changes.
I first thought it was a belt slipping, but the sound isn't quite right for a belt. i checked them anyway and all is good. I thought maybe a motor mount was loose and the fan was hitting the shroud. Everything is tight. The sound seems to come from the rear of the engine or at the tranny.
I'm thinking torque converter vanes...
Any ideas?

(it is her DD). It just sounds like a hollow metal grind maybe coming from the front drive shaft (feeling from the floor board with my size 15's) Only between the RPM's above. Never heard it past 2nd gear. it is not terribly load at all, but it is def. there.
). The armor I do have was well used. I also got to exercise the lockers some. Hardest trail that I have ever been on (only been on 2 or 3 others though). There were a few areas that I went around that others were able to crawl over without much issue. I thought it was good though, only saw 3 other rigs the entire day. Always fun reading other peoples minds and lips as a Lexus passes them on the trail
