There's been a sound like a small prop plane coming from the back at speed, probably a bearing. Then I fire it up today and see this.

Pay no attention to the gauge positions, lol.

When the bearing goes bad, it can wreck the internal magnetic pickup for the abs sensor. So once replaced, the abs, traction and 4wd lights will go back out. Get the codes read and see which sensor is not reading, and that's going to be the same position for the bearing.

Yeah, I gotta get it looked at, but with the Suburban in the shop and the Impala's radiator support about ready to give out, this is all I have to drive right now. Suburban should be done this week though, and at the moment I don't have much to do.

🤣 Yes! That's what mine sounds like for the past 2,500 miles. I had a hard time explaining the sound at first until my kid mentioned it sounded like a plane.

If that was your thread titled "sounds like a plane" or something like that recently, that's where I got the idea that it was probably a bearing, was from that thread.

Ditto @todde702. Dying bearings will damage ABS sensors. Been there with my Olds, but not my Patriots.

Uh, Klunker? My Patriot is getting past middle age, but it's a long way from being a klunker.

Watch enough Dukes of Hazzard episodes, and you'll hear Sorrell Booke("Boss Hogg") refer to the General Lee as an "orange klunker car". I may have sort of adopted that, plus this thing has had its fair share of issues here and there, in all fairness.
