Howdy,
Every time I shut off the 4.0 SOHC in my '02, it makes a distinct hissing noise for about 5 seconds. It is most definitely audible from outside all around the truck and barely, but still audible from within. I've noticed this noise for about a year now, just never thought much of it.
Other than that the truck has good acceleration and idles fine (except some times the engine sends a surging vibration through the brake peddle when sitting at a light which I can feel through my foot. The body of the truck does not vibrate though.
I moved the camera around in the video so you could hear the engine from different places. I don't hear any hissing while the engine is running.
I'm not asking for you to determine where the leak is, just if this sound normal after engine shut off. Thanks.
