    I just purchased this truck so figuring out all the thing last owner neglected

    When you get up around 2000-2200 rpm is makes a winning noise like the blower motor is going out but it sounds like its coming from under the hood the blower motor is off, it drivers fine no loss of power and once you get off the pedal it goes away. It kinda sounds like its in the dash but I dont know of anything in the dash that could be making that noise its kinda loud, there is no vibrations.

    Any ideas let me know

    Why are you pushing it that high in the RPM’s?? Most likely the turbo over speeding and rubbing the compressor housing.

    It does it with a trailer under a load at lower RPMs too. Only time it goes away is at low rpms or going down a hill or off the power. The motor has 100,000 on it from a Over Haul the air compressor needs changed because its pushing oil in the tanks thats getting fixed but sounds like in the dash I did change rpm gauge but not sure that could have anything to do with this.

    If it goes away when its not making boost I would be looking at the turbo and for boost leaks. What kind of truck?

    Might check the elbows under the dash that go from the firewall to the breathers. Also it just might be the noise the turbo makes through the breathers. My x15 cummins does whistle some but its not loud like a cat turbo and does have more of a vacuum cleaner type sound when its making over 30psi as the whistle gets quieter at higher boost.
