I would say that is a belt too tight, or your p/s pump or maybe even your alt. Usually that "whine" is caused by something like that.

I would bet the whine is the ACE pump. It sounds just like a supercharger now that you mention it. Mine is usually loud enough to drown out any ticking.. lol

There, just got home. It actually isn't this loud, but I guess the mic really picks everything up.

Thanks, I love this truck even though I've spent a lot of time under it covered in grease. It runs great. You would never know it's got 123k on the clock. I think all the highway miles really are good for these things. It's still clean as a whistle inside.

Is your idle running fast or is it just the mic? I know when I heard mine I tape I was like "WHOA!". Surely doesn't sound that loud in person!

It was a little high because the AC compressor was on, you can hear the clutch click near the end. I went in and kicked it on econ but didn't tape it again. It idles around 750. Yeah, the video doesn't really seem like an accurate example huh? lol

I thought I would add my Disco music. Sounds like this only when warm and I have heard it come and go. I have the top end torn down right now and I wasnt all that pleased with how the insides look. We have put about 25k miles on it since we got it.
