I've only heard the weird sounds after running the A/C on very hot days. I've actually now also felt vibrations through the fender when trying to pin point the source of the sounds. Apparently the compressor was replaced just prior to when I bought the truck a couple months ago. I...

Oh, forgot earlier to say that I could feel the Ah-so! I'll try this. Thank you, sir!

Finally got the whales to wail again on Friday - a good 'n' hot one here in Phoenix. - The sound is *not* from the stereo - Pushing brake pedal made no difference - probably *not* brake booster Will check fluids. Seems heat-related. A/C?

Interesting thought, especially since the wiper switch has issues - can't pull it to run the washer pump. Thanks for the input.

Suppose I should either replace the antenna mech or find a fuse and pull it, though the try-try-try only lasts 30 seconds. I've heard whines from radio electronics before, but this is pretty special. LOL

LOL - Nailed it!

Didn't recur today, but I will keep this in mind. Excellent suggestion! Thank you.

Welp, I made a beer run, ran the a/c got the motor up to operating temp, did everything I could to replicate conditions from earlier today, but...no ghosts, nor whales, nor wails, nor intergalactic communications, nor nuthin'. Will drive her to work tomorrow to see if any other that returns...

Per earlier post a minute ago, I tried to reproduce it (with the hood up this time), but no luck. Blend doors - as in the climate control Fresh/Recirc, you mean? Hadn't thought of that. My troubleshooting brain is asking what changed to cause the behavior, and well ... all that engine work...

Thanks, that's a test I'll do...tonight. It's like 105 outside right now, and 140 in the truck. Waiting till the sun goes down.

I took a minute to go try to isolate the sound, but just running the truck on the driveway for a minute or two wasn't enough. I'll get more scientific about things after work tonight. It did kinda sound like from the speakers, but couldn't quite tell.

Hey all, I'm fairly new here and new to TLC ownership. Picked up a 40th Anniversary and had engine seals replaced, hg, hoses, etc. (and a good de-griming) - all as preventative work. She's not my DD, so I've not done but a couple quick trips around town. Just today, these haunted whale sounds...
