intake leak?

maybe something is hanging below the frame and catching air?

mine dont whine, but its not really stock so im not much help.


my ss mirrors are noisy but i know you dont have those...

 

Does it happen when accelerating? cruising? all the time?

 

All the time. It sounds like it winds up as it changes gears which makes me wonder if it's tranny or engine. First time I actually listened for it was after a buddy of mine asked me if I had a super charger if that gives you any idea of what it sounds like. :lol: I told him I wish.

 

THAT is normal.

 

its the tq been ther done that

 

really? Any way to reduce the sound? I hate it.

Edit: tq?

 

ya replace the torque converter

 

WINNER!

Dealer said is was the tq converter. Also causing my shift issues. Was told it would be covered under power-train. Gotta wait for the converter to come in and then should be getting it back in next week (i hope.)

 

ya we had this happen with my dads car thought it was an engine problem so we replaced the engine noise still there took the trans out got rebuilt put the old tq back in noise still there replaced the tq noise gone lol but it was very hard to tell were it was coming from also

 

What kinda $$$ are we talking to have it replaced and would it be covered under warranty?

 

i seriously doubt you have problems with your torque converter.

that may be whats making the noise, but if it aint broke...

new v8 355s do the same thing.

 

You have a point Darek. I guess I just need to make the exhaust louder to drown out the whine.

Thanks for the info guys.

 

i think it sounds cool honestly...

 

If my truck's gunna sound like it has a super charger then damnit it better have one under the hood. Never been a fan of false advertising. :shrug:

 

i wouldnt say it sounds like a supercharger, but you can definatly hear it building power.

yea, if it sounded like a supercharger, id say take off your intake completely and put it back on right. somethings not sitting right for some reason.

I'll check that out tonight

why the hell not? you haz z71 4x4.

there are places that wont scratch paint...

 

Probally Cuz I owe an unGodly ammount on it still.

Not around here. Everything close by is narrow tree lined areas. That and the turning radius in a Crew Cab SUX!!! Could be I'm still used to the Jeep. :shrug:

 

It has done a little. (This was with temp tags too.)

 

This may be a long shot, but when I had my Camaro, I had a similar whine. People would always ask the same thing, if I had a supercharger. So Im guessing its the same type of whine. It ended up being my power steering pump. Take the cap off the power steering pump while its just sitting in the driveway at idle. See if you hear it get louder.

 

Hmm I'll take a look. Thanks Cisco.

 

every vortech engine ive ever had had a whine on hard acceleration.

vortech.

vortex.

 

yeah as I was reading this thread I thought the same exact thing. I've driven a ton of gmc, chevys, van, or trucks. Anything from an i4 to v6s and v8s. Every vortec engine I've driven had this whine on hard accel. Usually much more noticeable in the higher rpm range. All the older trucks I've driven, didn't have the whine. Its easily droned out with an exhaust and intake put on.

 

It's on every acceleration. I hear it more on soft accel because the exhaust is lower. :shrug:

 

One word warranty work :lol: take it in or ask some mechanics who work on gm cars and see what they suggest. Both of my dads 6.0 vortecs never whined or anything. Something is making noise.

is your truck a factory v8 or a swap? if its a factory v8 take it to the dealer as you have a 5 year/100,000 powertrain warranty that cover engines,transmissions,diffs,axles,hubs

Powertrain Coverage
The powertrain is covered for 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, except for other coverages listed here under "What is Covered" and those items listed under "What is Not Covered" later in this section.

Engine Coverage includes: All internally lubricated parts, the entire pressurized fuel system (in-tank fuel pump, pressure lines, fuel rail(s), regulator, injectors and return line). Also included are all actuators and electrical components internal to the engine (i.e.: Active Fuel Management Valve Lifter Oil Manifold, etc.) as well as the Engine/Powertrain Control Module, module programming, cylinder head, block, timing gears, timing chain, timing cover, oil pump/oil pump housing, OHC carriers, valve covers, oil pan, seals, gaskets, manifolds, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer, engine mount, starter motor, turbocharger and supercharger. Timing belts are covered until the first scheduled maintenance interval.

Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are sensors, wiring, connectors, engine radiator, coolant hoses, fans, coolant and heater core. Coverage on the engine cooling system begins at the inlet to the water pump and ends with the thermostat housing and/or outlet that attaches to the return hose. Also excluded are engine oil cooling hoses lines and radiators.

Transmission/Transaxle Coverage includes: All internally lubricated parts, case, torque converter, mounts, seals and gaskets as well as any electrical components internal to the transmission/transaxle. Also covered are any actuators directly connected to the transmission (slave cylinder, etc.) as well as any Transmission Control Module and/or module programming.

Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are transmission cooling lines, hoses, radiator, sensors, wiring and electrical connectors.

Transfer Case Coverage includes: All internally lubricated parts, case, mounts, seals and gaskets as well as any electrical components internal to the transfer case. Also covered are any actuators directly connected to the transfer case as well as encoder motor, transfer case control modules and/or module programming.

Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are transfer case cooling lines, hoses, radiator, sensors, wiring and electrical connectors.

Drive Systems Coverage includes: All internally lubricated parts, final drive housings, axle shafts and bearings, constant velocity joints, propeller shafts, universal joints, wheel bearings, front and rear hub bearings, locking hubs, mounts, supports, seals, gaskets as well as any electrical components internal to the drive axle. Also covered are any actuators directly connected to the drive axle (i.e.: front differential actuator, etc.) as well as any drive system control module and/or module programming.

Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are drive system cooling, lines, hoses, radiator, sensors, wiring and electrical connectors related to drive systems.
