I am hoping to get some feedback from anyone who owns and F250 or been around them a fair bit. I have a brand new F250. I just spent my first hour on the water with it yesterday on a test drive with the mechanic to go over a couple of things. However I noticed a whining sound from the motor at top speeds. The mech said he thought that it was normal for this motor but I am skeptical. I have a 2006 F150 that has never made such a sound, ever.
With the new motor I did not notice it in the beginning (first 30 mins) as I was going to a max of 25 mph. I decided to open it up a bit as I was curious how fast the new motor would go. At approx. 40 mph I started to hear a bit of a higher pitch whining sound above the normal throaty sound of the motor. at 50 mph it was definetly there as it was louder. at first I thought it might have been an electronic alarm going off (similar in sound to a low oil alarm) But it was definitely coming form the motor. As I backed off the throttle the sound gets quieter till it disappears.
To me this is not normal nor if I was designing a motor would I want the whining sound.
Mech says their is nothing wrong and that's how they sound.
I don't have anything to base this on as the motor is brand spanking new and only has 1 hour on it?
Anybody have an F250? and if so does your motor change sound or wine at the higher speeds?
thanks Paul
