    Hi, I started my truck today and it was making this awful whining noise. It does it with a/c on and with the heat on. It does it driving, idling, in park. It does it wether it is set to face, feet, face& feet, or windshield blowers.

    Does anyone know what this could be and how to fix it?

    Sounds like something is stuck in the blower or the blower motor is failing.
    I'd pull the blower and see what's going on in there, also be a good idea to check the cabin air filter while your there.

    Yup would guess a leaf or something made it through the cabin air filter.

    Yeah, that's the blower. Take it apart & see what's going on.

    Look at the center spindle of the "hamster wheel" to see if i't's cracked.

    Super glue is your friend :)
