This is a new one for me. 4low, steep descent. Sounds like the tires chirping but you can see it made the noise when I was stopped. Went away as I leveled out, maybe something was starved of fluid for a second?

Yes first time that steep. It did it a second time on another steep section later in the trail. So it’s probably replicatable. Just not sure the next time I’ll be at that angle lol

If you can replicate , set brake , put on park , chalk the hell out of the wheels , still stay away from the business end (as much as possible) and see if you can pinpoint it , pop the hood and throw some water on the belt /fan or tensioner and see if it shuts up...
