Anyone has this problem?
Well i have a 1994 F-150 XLT and i notice that my motor is loud, its not as quiet as it used to be a long time ago, my grandpa has a F-150 1995 XL and i took a drive on it this weekend and it was quiet compare to my, when i gave it gas i didn't hear the motor that much just normal like how mine used to sound, i thinking that its a leak on the manifold where the muffler goes out from, but i took it somewhere and they said they didn't find anything, where else to look, i rather hear my muffler then my motor.
Any help you guys or advice

Its probably either an exhaust leak or the fan clutch. Does it sound like s school bus? If so, then its probably the fan.

It doesn't sound that loud, lol so no it doesn't sound like a bus like when on idle and you just give it gas it doesn't sound inside, abut when moving it sounds loud in the cab. so i thinking like your saying exhaust leak.

If its a more constant sound that increases with engine speed then fan clutch. If it is a pulsating sound or hissing sound that increases with engine speed then exhaust leak. Its hard to say with out actually hearing it.

if you are looking for an exhaust leak... the good old test i use is to have a buddy put a leather glove on and put his hand over the tail pipe so the gas has to be forced out somewhere else... while he's doing that i am under the truck listening and looking for the leak.
