Intake Noise???

I've got a noise that sounds like it's coming from the air filter that chirps when I am accelerating under a load. Does not happen at WOT. But more like slow acceleration, or kind of lugging it. Any thoughts???

Does it happen when the truck is changing gears during acceleration?

If it's during acceleration under load, that's called "surge" and is very bad for the turbo. Time for a WW or ATS compressor housing...

Yes that happens, but I know what that is. This happens when in high gear and I start to accelerate and build boost. As it builds I get this chirping noise that sounds a lot like the noise you get after shifting up.

I wondered if that was what it was. I better call Clay and get one on the way.

For the time being, take it out of overdrive to get the RPMs up -- it should quit. But still get the wheel or housing. Housing is a better fix if you can shell out the 400 clams...

You're probably right about the fix. Closer to $700 CAN by the time I get it to me.
But, the alternative sucks. Last time I had the intake off I could see some dusting on the wheel. Should I go for both or is that necessary?
