hey ron if its a whinding noise it is most likely your idler pulleys. i have a 2005 dodge ram 5.7 hemi , pop the belt, one bolt for each pulley if it has two. mine had a upper and lower , easy fix. i did mine in 10 minutes or less. sound went away. it kind of sounds like its coming from the fan but, its not if you have the same problem i did. cost is about 42.00 for both with tax. good luck!!!
