 Subject: Loud Engine on Startup...
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 01 RC SLT 4x4 with about 2500 miles on it. When I start it up when it's been sitting for a while, I wait a minute or so (the oil pressure goes up, I throw on the seat belt, toss in a dip of skoal) then I start driving -- The engine seems real loud until my truck hits like 3000 RPM's for the first time. (For example, if I just drive real slow and it doesn't go above 3000 RPM, it will keep being loud. The first time I actually hit the gas down a bit and it goes above 3000 RPM, it will no longer be loud).
Is this something I should be concerned about?
That's the only 'thing' I've noticed wrong with my truck so far -- other than the infamous popping noise while turning (slowly) into parking spots or whatever.

I have the same problem sounds like a ton of air rushing around in a tunnel.

It's the clutch fan, and it is normal.

What you are hearing is the clutch fan and it is very normal to hear it as you do.

My 01 quad cab 4x4 slt 4.7l did the exact same thing. It was unbelievably loud. I have since put on an Airraid intake system and it doesn't do that anymore. I hear a real quick rush of air and that is it. I'm not sure why that changed the sound, especially since everyone says it is the clutch fan???
