Default '08 1500 Making Noise

My dad has a '08 HEMI 1500 with roughly 2,500 miles on it. It has been making a weird noise since about 750 miles. It is very high pitched and itis a very quick wee, wee, wee, wee... noise like a bearing or pulley of some kind. My dad took the truck to the dealership he bought it fromto have it fixed and they said they couldn't do anything about it because that noise is normal. Is that true or is that just a crock? I know the 2nd gens have a tendency to make a whining noise when the tranny is in reverse and that is considered "normal" but I would think a pulley or bearing noise would not be a normal thing.

I'm not familiar with what it may be. But you must give the thread more than a few hours to get a helpful response. Most of the regulars are at their 9-5s. Patience.

Is it a noise when you accelerate? Because mine makes a high pitched kinda like a tiny turbo spooling lol when accerlerated. I believe it is pretty normal...

My 08 Hemi with 1200 miles isn't making any kind of wee wee wee noise. Not that I've noticed.

He only notices it when the truck is sitting still but I can hear it the moment he pulls into the driveway. I'm assuming this isn't normal.

Wait til it blows up then they can pin point the problem. Or take it to another dealership for a second opinion.

Definitely get a 2nd opinion man.

Doesn't sound normal to me either.
