Weird noise HELP!!!!!!!
I have heard this weird grinding noise today under hard accel from a coast and also when i let off the pedal. It is pretty loud and noticiable but i cannot recreate it. it has done it twice today. I think it is either the trans or the turbo making some kind of noise.
what does turbo bark sound like?
i checked the trans fluid and it was pink.

i have not tried it stock yet. i think it happens if i let off the throttle then jam back on it. the more and more i think about it i think it is the turbo making a noise of some kind i have just never heard it before.

well i just put 40 miles on the truck and it ran fine. i am wondering if the noises i am hearing are coming from the AFE? How much louder does it make the turbo? Mine has gotten extremely loud after the AFE install. I think this is normal.

Turbo bark, in my truck, sounded just like you were running over a dog only it barked backwards, twice....
Lots of auto trucks do it when shifting into OD. It may have been doing it all along but you just never heard it until putting the louder AFE intake on it.

Wreed, the AFE does come with a whooshing type sound as it shifts through the gears. But as for the turbo bark, to me, it sounds like a pop off valve. As for your noise it sounds like something other than the AFE. I have had mine on for over 10k and have had only a couple of turbo barks. Give some time and you will be able to decipher the intake and problem noise. Just my 02.
