On my way home from work today, on the highway, I hear the loudest noise, outside the truck, sounds like an electric motor, higher pitched whirring. Constant for a few seconds, then stops, then constant, etc. No idea what it is. Thought I was crazy, did it again tonight on backroads. I haven't the slightest clue what this is, can someone help quick???

try cleaning the iac first
 






If the IAC has ever been replaced it may not be cleanable. If you have to buy a new one they are about $30. After a while it will make the noise more, and eventually start stalling.
 






Do you have the automatic suspension leveling system?
 






Is it the AC clutch locking an unlocking? The AC will come on (automatically) in any of the defrost modes (without actually pressing the AC button).
