I got this 04 1 ton with the 5.4l. At a certain throttle position i can hear a squealing, hissing, whistling sorta sound. If i ease off the throttle a bit it goes away, and if i open it a bit it goes away. Il hear it on the highway at about 6o mph, and any other speed with the throttle opened at that position. anyone heard of this before?
Nothing to worry about. Even with the newer assembly described below (2003 revision), it still does it.
ISSUE:
Some vehicles equipped with the 5.4L 2V engine may exhibit a "whistling" noise from the formed nylon tube in the idle-air bypass flow circuit. This may be caused by air flow passing through the sharp bend radius of the original tube assembly.
ACTION:
Remove and replace formed nylon tube with the Nipple And Hose Assembly 2L1Z-9W548-AA. This action will correct the sharp bend in the tube. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
