I have a problem with this truck when excelerated sound like its sucking air. I have had some work done to the truck for coolant leak and now I have this. I think its with the reinstallation of the breather air filter assembley but I have taken off twice and can't figure out why it sucking air. Any suggestions

the whistling is the new airfilter assembly! it's actually good for the motor if it stops whistling than you have a problem! with out the stock air box it actually lets the motor suck in the air and it creates a whistling noise as it goes through the pipe and into the throttle body

I am not sure if dirtboy knows something about your truck or not, but there is a gasket between the aircleaner and the tb. Make sure the gasket is sitting properly and refit your air box. It just takes some practice. It does sound like your box is leaking.
