Anyone else have this happen????

At first I thought it was regen, but when I'm on the highway doing a steady 80mph (foot to the floor) after some time the engine seems to over-rev and sounds like a really loud howling. I let off the accelerator and coast for a few secs, then it goes it away. Then after a few miles more, it will start again. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for it, other than it happens at WOT. I'm familiar with the regen characterisitcs, and it does it every 150-200 miles or so, but this high speed howling has me baffled. Anyone else's truck do this?

Sounds to me like your engine cooling fan clutch is engaging.

The sound is normal. Mine came on as I entered my garage and I ducked my head thinking a 747 was landing on top of me!
