Help! Whinning noise!!

Bertha1500 · Sep 30, 2016

Well, I have an 06 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi (I call her Bertha). There is a whinning noise as soon as I start it up and it gets louder when I accelerate. Bertha sounds more like an RC car than a truck [emoji14] I know a few things can be the cause of this noise. I am changing my oil tomorrow and I am 2 qts low and I know sometimes that can cause it, but I have been low before and it hasn't made the noise. I do my own repairs and will not send her to a shop so any help is greatly appreciated!!

I just a had whining noise and it was one of my idler pulleys or tensioner pulley, not sure which one cause I replaced them all along with my water pump and belt.

Thanks I will look at those as well.

Any ideas on how to fix my exhuast, I have a u-bolt clamp but I'm not sure if that is going to fix it.

Don't think your clamp will work but you could try a band clamp for that.

Yea both that and the tensioner pulley were both rough sounding when I spun them after I took them off so wasn't really sure which it was.

Hmmm not sure what else to try besides replacing that whole piece or someone can try welding it maybe?

I may accept defeat and admit I was wrong thinkin I could fix it. Yes a woman admitted she was wrong lol I don't know how to weld and not sure if I know anyone who can. I'll have to ask around. Thank you for all of your help!
