Noise

I pull a 31` 5th wheel, have plenty of power, at about 3000 rpm, on a 6% grade I get a high pitch whistle like noise.
Is that normal,? I have a 2007 6.0 F-350 Dulley. Thanks

Noise - Whistles Under Load

Take a look at the follwoing thread. Near the bottom, Kusto has several links to other threads about the noise problem. See if any of these describe what you've got.

Whistles Like a Teapot Under Load

And then, go to the NHTSA's Office of Defect Investigations page listed below and fill out a defect report. Not sure it will get any action, but there are a lot of listings for the death wobble and I figure if enough of us complain about the noise, maybe somebody will make Ford fix it too.
