    Help Needed Noise From Front Of Engine

    I am new to the forum and am in need of some advice. I have a 02 F-250 7.3L and have developed a noise when at idle...not always but sometimes. It sounds like a chirping sound and is definitely a rotational kind of noise. I have crawled underneath when idling and done the "ear test" and the...
