Ford RangerMore than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.
when i accelerate, usually around 3500 to 4000 RPM, there is a "whistle" type noise, it is high pitched and ALMOST sounds like a turbo.........i know i have a vacuum problem with my truck (ac stops blowing while getting into the gas).........what do you guys think?
i have the same problem but only started when i put my cold air intake kit in. I replace the vacume hose and it stop until i getin in , it sounds like it may just bee the cold air sucking through the filter.
WOT (Wide Open Throttle) condition automatically turns off the A/C until the WOT condition stops. WOT will occur while "getting into the gas" and climbing hills. WOT also causes a LOW vacuum at the intake manifold and in the vacuum system. Sounds more like a bad bearing in the alternator, water pump, power steering unit, or idler pulleys.
