Whining noise coming from behind radiator

LowCarolina · Mar 3, 2016

First time diesel owner here. I have a question about a noise I'm now hearing from behind the radiator. I literally bought the truck Monday and just started hearing this noise recently. It changes in pitch and sometimes even stops for awhile. It doesn't fluctuate with RPM's so I know it's not the belt. Maybe the fuel cooler pump? Attached is a picture of where I think the noise is coming from. Any help on what to do would be great. Thank you in advance!

Your lower intercooler boot doesn't look like its on all of the way. You could have a boost leak.

Whs i would fix the boot, and make sure your fuel cooler reservoir is full, this will cause a whining. If its not, use a vacuum filler to fill it, the air is what cause the whining.

Yep it has got to be that boot.

Hey thanks guys I appreciate the help. So I've tightened up the boot and put more coolant in the fuel cooler, still has that whining noise. Think it must be air??

There isnt a tear in the boot as well is there? That tends to cause more of a whooshing or squealing, but i guess could cause a whine. Could possibly be air too, was the fuel cooler tank low? Does the noise get worse turning or braking?

Fuel cooler tank was a little low, but I filled it and still get the noise. And no, it doesn't get worse turning or breaking.
