I have been complaining to the dealership about a whining noise from the left(drivers) bank for about 5k now. The first time I brought the truck in I was getting the fuel sender replaced and decided to bring up the issue to see if they had a quick fix. I told them that above 35mph and on acceleration it sounded like I had a supercharger under the hood(one day this will be true). The tech drove it and checked under the hood and instantly said "oh, he has a volant intake. There is your noise problem." Now, I have had the intake on since about 15k into the truck and Im now at 90K. I know the difference between an intake and whining from the motor (Plus I was a master tech for a highline dealership), I even diagnosed it before I took it in. Of course they told me that they wouldn't do anything because of the intake. On Friday I decided to removed the intake and take it back to the dealer because the noise was getting worse. Finally I got them to really look at the truck and they said I was going to be getting new timing chain tensioners and guides under extended warranty. Wow, ya think!
I guess if I had the timing tools I would have just done it myself. We'll see how good the dealership does it because this is the first major repair on the truck.
