blow off valve under my hood!
 
Well a funny thing happened this morning... I started my truck, got out to throw some trash away, and while i was walking back to my truck, it made the exact sound, pretty loud too, of a blow off valve, just the perfect little pshhewww sound. No idea what it was, but it didnt idle up or down, just kept on like nothing happened, kinda weird, any ideas?

Yeah that's what happens when you forget to replace the summer air in your tires with winter air.

I thought everybody new that:rocker:

The only things I can think of,

AC compressor or line leak, radiator cap leak, or some vaccum part leaking :cool:

My truck makes that type of noise when I am driving and it shifts between first and second. It is coming from the driver's side. I think it is my EGR gasket leaking, since that is the last thing I changed on my truck and I used some of that gasket maker stuff instead of just buying a gasket.

Maybe your truck had gas.

yeah mine does the same thing.... if you let off the pedal at the right moment after WOT when it shifts the fan belt will squal... boost blow off baby.. LOL

Any neighbors cat's missing

Onetime a cat was up in the radiator and when the truck started it made one hell of a noise. The cat made it out alive but it was shaved in places I've never seen before :eek:
