    Howdy y'all, hopped in the truck this morning and I heard a weird noise. Noticed that when I turned the fan up and down, the noise reacted accordingly to what I was doing. Anyone have any insight on how to correct this? Google searches don't give me much.

    Probably something stuck in there,,,, or I think (I'm not entirely sure) I read of the squirrel cage in the blower motor having defects. I'd take it to the dealer.

    Welcome to the forum!

    1: Open your glove box
    2: Remove everything
    3: Remove the shelf where your owners manual sits
    4: Remove cabin air filter cover and pull out cabin air filter

    When the cabin filter is removed you can see what is hitting the fan.
