Kettle Sound
Sometime when I am cruising down the road, I can hear a kettle sound. From inside the truck it sounds like its coming from somewhere on the passenger side, but its hard to tell. It has been doing it for almost a year now, hasnt gotten worse or better...but stays relatively the same. Its only every now and then! It can be when I am on the accelerator, or when I let off the accelerator.
Any one know what this could be??
Cheers,

Or an EGR cooler, or just a bad cap. Replace the cap, and put a pressure gauge on the degas bottle, or pressure test the EGR cooler.

I thought about this. But wouldn't there be some other symptoms too along with it? Overheating...puking, etc?

I also get a faint smell of exhaust in the cab from time to time. Is that another symptom of a leaking up pipe?

Yes, you should see coolant puking.

Any good way to check for this? I would imagine it would have to be at a spot where I am not losing coolant...prob too small for the naked eye? Or are you speaking of a larger crack?

My driver side up-pipe was replaced in August 2011 due to a crack. It made a whistling noise like a kettle at times and did not leave any soot on the firewall. It was cracked inside the flex tubing.
