'99 Engine Noise

Hello,

I started my '99 Bounder, V10, around 44K miles, and hear an engine noise that I suspect isn't normal. I sort of heard it last year, but it was the first full year we had it and I thought it might be normal. This year it's the same noise but sounds a bit different in that it's not fully constant. It sounds like a noise that's made when a power steering pump gets low on fluid, but not quite as loud (fluids are normal on everything). When I turn the engine off however, it has a sort of rattling sound. This sound occurs just after the engine stops turning (or very close). It's difficult to pinpoint where it's coming from, though it's loudest on the passenger side of the engine. Attached is a video I took of it (well, audio, the video isn't useful). Ideas?

Welcome to the forums..

A couple thoughts

Sounds like a Serpentine belt idler bearing???? You have three of them two on either side of the engine and one on the tensioner.

Could also be a bad alternator, water pump, power steering, or AC compressor bearing.

Take the serpentine belt off, start the truck and see if it still makes the noise.

I don;t think this is it, but look at this anyway:

Look carefully on the bottom of the Power Steering resivour there is a large hose that feeds the power steering pump. Look carefully where that hose turns and goes through the firewall. See if it is kinked. On my 2001 Mirada it was kinked and blocking fluid to the power steering pump..
