Howling

Just a quick question... not all the time, but when i reach approx. 20 to 30 mph I can hear a howling coming from the motor. When the engine is cold its worst, I picked up my Camper the other day, the truck was shut down for about 1 1/2 hours, when I started out i got to about 30 mph and the howling got pretty loud. As I got to about 40 to 45 mph it stopped, is it just the Turbo talking to me or should i have something checked.. [undecided]<br><br>Thanks in advance...<br><br>Tommy

Re:Howling

It does sound like the fan clutch. When these trucks are cold, it takes a bit for the clutch to release.

Re:Howling

I've had the same howling at about the same speeds and it's only when the truck has had time to cool down. I've got about 30k on mine, and I was wondering if this could be a problem in the future. Any thoughts? 8)BUCK 8)

Re:Howling

Buck,<br> That is the same with mine.. Sometimes its pretty loud, I pulled my camper after about a hour or so of cool down and the sound, just for a minute, almost drove me right out of the truck. But this weekend I never heard it... ahhh, the mind just boggles ... I guess its just the joy of owning a Diesel ...Go figure ;D<br><br>Tommy
