Thanks, DJLA.  This is a louder noise than the CPU, it lasted 5-7 minutes after I shut her down the other day, and it was coming from the rear of the engine.  It was a hot day and instead of the fan continuing after shut-down for its typical 30 seconds or so, there was no fan, just this whine...

Thank you, Andystoy19!  I'll try that.  This isn't quite as high pitched as I imagine a balloon squeaking out air, but I sure hope this is in fact the problem as opposed to the fan not working properly.  I'll update with what I find out.  Thanks again.  

My 2021 Ltd HD10 is making a whining noise which makes me wonder if it's my engine fan trying to work.  Today, the whine continued for several minutes after I turned off the engine, and thinking back on my ride, I don't remember hearing the usually-frequent fan running during my last 5 miles. ...

Thanks, DJLA and RossO.  I only use my cell for emergencies (yes, I'm a dinosaur who still loves my landline), and I don't have an ipod, so CDs are my method of amusement, but I do like that Milwaukee unit (and their tools), so if I can't find a rugged CD player, maybe I'll just go with a...

Instead of installing a sound system, I just want to bring along a small rechargeable boom box once in awhile.  Has anyone else done this, and if so, do you have any recommendations for a unit that's loud enough to hear over the engine, can handle vibrations when playing a CD, and can receive...

I'm barely 5'2", and driving with my heel off the floor with my tip-toes incapable of maintaining steady contact with the accelerator, I had a serious problem.  After rejecting all the pedal extenders that I found online, I solved the issue by doing two things: 1.  I bought a "CONFORMAX Airmax...

Thanks so much, RossO and Steelslinger.  I'm constantly varying speeds on our dirt roads because they're completely riddled with award-winning pot holes, so that'll take care of that recommendation, and now I can relax about running the few stretches of pavement that I hit at higher speeds. ...

My primary use of my Defender Ltd HD10 is driving down the vast network of dirt/gravel roads that I live on, with occasional stretches of rural paved roads.  I'm wondering what cruising speeds are considered non-damaging for these engines and also how long it's okay to hold at say, 30-45mph. ...

Since I commented on getting a custom cable brake in my On-Road Insurance thread, I've had interest in how I got my Defender road-legal in Michigan.  Here's what you need to know: 1) PROOF THAT WE'RE ALLOWED DO THIS:  MI waffles on this issue, and many cops insist that the laws allowing this...

I'm so glad to see this thread.  Saved me from posting just now to ask about the same thing with my 2021 Ltd.  Glad to know it's normal.  

Does anyone here have road-use insurance for their ORV in Michigan?  If so, who is it with? I just got my 2021 Defender Ltd HD10 approved for road use in MI as an Assembled Vehicle (specifically, an Assembled Truck), but am having trouble finding an insurance company to cover it for liability...

Has anyone put a cable style parking brake on a Defender Limited HD10?  I've done everything Michigan requires to make my 2021 street legal, but their verbiage on a "separate parking brake" states that it must be non-hydraulic using a cable and hand control (or I assume foot pedal).  The factory...

Hi all.  Newbie here - just got my Defender Limited a couple days ago (yee haw!).  I'm sure this is common knowledge to you guys, but I just realized how to tell that my doors are fully closed.  They kept seeming to shut okay, but something told me they weren't tight.  The beauty of suicide...
