Strange problem with engine noise
Strange problem with engine noise
Ok when i start my truck and let it run for 20-30 secs it starts to get a high pitch whine. It aint really loud but it's very high pitched. When i increase rpm's to 750+ it goes away and then when it returns it comes back again. Anyone have any idea what this may be?
I used to have a 99 ford some time back and had the same issue. I thought it was the alternator but it was actually one of my idler pulleys. I was able to track it down with some spray lube as I went from pulley to pulley until I found the one causing the noise.
Hopefully it is nothing more than that or the alternator.

On my '08 w/5.4, I had a 'woot' or 'whistle' at idle when cold - this actually only happened below 35deg F.
There was a TSB for it - for an idler pulley replacement.
Doubt if your is the same issue being it's not cold now unless you are in the southern hemisphere.

I just been out ther eagain and messed around with it and it's 85f outside and it dont do it as soon as i start it but it starts a few secs after. It's very high pitched like one of them cat scare gadgets.
Then maybe listen closer to your A/C compressor - I know I can hear mine "grunt" for a second or two a few seconds after I start up.
Maybe try turning the climate control completely off while the truck is running, then kill the motor, and start it again - if it doesn't do it then I would think it is your A/C compressor.

did you try some lubricant on the pulleys? or a belt dressing with any results?
