Default Turbo whistle in my hemi?
I've got an 04 with the 5.7 hemi. When I accelerate you can hear a soft high pitched whine. It almost sounds like a turbo whistle. What could be the cause of this? Thanks.

Got a cold air intake?

If not you've got a leak in your box system somewhere more that likely.

Its hard to explain and sometimes I can notice it more than other times. It almost had an electric sound to it. I don't have a cold air intake but do have a dual exhaust.

Alright I'll have my mechanics check the fluids when my truck goes in. Would that explain why sometimes I back out of a steep driveway it creeks when i put it in reverse?
