    So pretty much, when I have my foot all the way down on the pedal, the truck starts making this faint whirling sound. Have no idea what it is. Kind of sounds like when you spin something around really fast and it starts making noise with the air, but in the truck it sounds similar just with a lower tone. If I let my foot of a the pedal a little, the whirling sound will stop. HELP

    I'm not sure, but whenever I push the pedal next to the accelerator, my truck seems to slow down.

    Snails are real crybabies when you force them to breathe harder.

    Exhaust leak? Clutch fan locked in full time? Clogged air filter? Waste gate sticking open? Rotted muffler?

    CAC leaking, blown, or leaking boots maybe somewhere along the air intake system. Start at the air cleaner, work your way to intake manifold. Could be something simple..
