help me
I don't have a ford truck but I haven't found any suggestions for my problem on any other websites. Thought maybe someone here could help. I have a 2000 Ford Winstar and I am sorry Enthusiasts, I have been less than enthusiastic, My most recent problem is a thumping sound that is especially loud when I turn the heater on, which has been a problem in this midwestern winter. It is less intense when I turn the heat off but still present, almost sounds like a belt is loose. I am ignorant when it comes to cars but don't want to appear that way when I take it in to be looked at. Any suggestions? I assume it has something to do with the heating and air conditioning and I opened the hood, why I don't know but couldn't see anything, it sounds like it is in the dash. Expensive to fix?

It might just be the blower or blower motor. When they go bad they will make a noise. It should speed up and slow down when you change the speeds on the fan. It is not a big or expensive deal to have repaired.

Can you hear the noise when the fan is off and the temperature dial is on full cold?
I'm thinking maybe steam or air pockets in the cooling system...
The other suggestions made so far make sense, too.
