converted chevy guy
Hi I just bought a 2001 f350 in mint shape and I love it.It has a v10 in it.I dont know much about the beast but I sure smile when I drive it.One thing about the truck though is it has an irritating buzz around 1500-2000 rpm.My buddy has the same problem with his v10 too.I think its comming from the torque converter,is this common?I LOVE MY TRUCK!

Yep lots of info around here on the V10. Just scroll down to the V10 Forum and you'll find just about anything you can think of. Also that smile is refered to as BSEG! For a definition just do a search in the V10 forum, lol.

Either remove it and bend it so it stops making noise or do what I did, I used some thick two sided tape and removed only one side of the backing. Never again did I hear the buzz.
Good luck with your truck and not be a stranger down in the V10 forum.
