Loose Clamps

???
Just got the beast back from another trip to the service dept.
After the transmission was fixed we were still getting a strange noise under heavy acceleration.
Here is what the service department found.

" Complaint:
Repair for Vacuum/whistle noise on Med to Hard acceleration
during acceleration and after a bit.

Correction
RT for vacuum noise on acceleration tighten all 10 cooler tube clamps and air intake clamps ( all loose ) RT. OK at this time. "

Wording is copied from the work and repair order..
