About 90% of the time when I shut my truck off and the motor slows down I get a sound that goes "squeek squeek". I have no clue where it is coming from.

 

maybe it's the famous cummins pulley squeek??? my 06 does not do it but some guys say theirs still does...my 01 and my 93 both did it EVRYTIME I shut down...no biggie...but you may have something else going on???
they even had a TSB for it I believe??

 

Yeah that is what it sounds like.......it is the exact same sound every time. Kind of like a tight belt or something

 

Mine does it, but not every time. Worried me at first until I searched around on here.

 

So I should not worry about it?

 

Mine squeeks, not every time, but most of the time. When it first started, I paid extra close attention to anyone turning off a 3rd gen diesel in parking lots and I noticed most of them do it. I wouldn't worry about it unless someone has a reason we should.

 

It's not a problem just a anoyance,it's nothing to worry about some people say they even like it.

 

yeah maybe I just need to start looking at it in a good way

 

Sometimes if you let your truck idle a little bit longer before you shut it off it's not as bad if it bothers you.

 

mine only does it when the ac is on. i turn the ac off about a minute before i shut down and it never squeeks.

 

Mine does it almost everytime I shut down, and has done so since new. I am at 78,000 miles now and still on the original serpentine belt.

It is the "Cummins Chirp". There is actually a TSB out to stop it if you must. http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2006/09-004-06.htm

I like to hear it and don't want it to stop doing it. The reason for it is the Cummins engine has so much compression that when you shut it off...it STOPS immediately. The a/c, power steering, alternator, water pump etc are still turning at 750 rpms or so.....and that creates a chirp until the belt slows down to zero.


Nothing to worry about. Completely normal. It is the "Sound of Power".

 

Torque Chirp.......

 

Yeah mine has done it since new. Nothing to worry about.

 

Mine does it every so often. All the accessories saying go and the Cummins saying whoa is the cause.

 

mine only does it when I have the AC on when I shut I off. I turn the AC off about 1 min before I turn the truck off and no squeek.
