Subject: Question about whining noise on 5.2L
IP: Logged

Message:
Hi, owner of a 97 Dakota CC 5.2L 4x4 here. Since I've bought it, I noticed a whining noise when revving to redline. It's so annoying that I can't really hear the sound of the engine when going at WOT. I noticed other stock trucks do this, as well. My question is, what creates this noise? I'm assuming it's the intake, in which case I wouldn't mind spending around $50 on some cheap chrome intake (not going to spend $250 on a K&N). Anyways, can I get some advice? And if it is the intake, will a cheap intake at least give me more of a V8 sound? Thanks.

Sure it's not the fan? A failing fan clutch might be the issue. Hard to tell without actually hearing it.

Your talking to much noise UNLESS you have NO INTAKE FILTER AT ALL. Most likely it is your radiator fan. You may well have a bad fan clutch or your racing your motor as soon as you start it.
