Howdy,
I have a 1995 Explorer XLT v6. Yesterday the temperature dropped into the low 60's (it's been above 85 until yesterday) and after work, when I started my Explorer, I heard a loud (and I mean LOUD) whaling noise coming from under the hood. I've not noticed this before. The noise goes away after about a minute or two. While it's whaling away, turning on/off the AC / vents doesn't affect the noise.
So, this morning, again it's a lot colder than it's been, I start the car and there's the noise again. After a minute or two it goes away.
So, I'm thinking the cold temps have some part in this, but does anyone have any idea what could be causing the noise / what I should do to remedy it?
I've looked at the belt and I don't see any cracks in it.
Thanks,
mike
