Blower making noise

[slvrlightning]

Guys,

I saw a post a couple of days ago where a guy had a blower ported and it started making noises, mine is making that noise now. Is it the bearings inside for the rotors? if so what do I do try and fix it myself, or take it to the shop and have it fixed and ported??? please help, also will it be ok to drive for a bit like this, as I am still recouping from the other mods I just did 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for your help,
Randy

Are you sure it's the s/c? If you haven't already take the s/c belt off and start the engine to see if the noise goes away. How many miles are on it?

I had the problem this past weekend. The noise goes away after the truck warms up. I emailed steig a video with the noise awaiting a reply. It sounds like the bearings in the back of the SC.

the motor is just about 40k now , only thing I have done really is the pulley. I haven't tried without the belt on to see if it goes away or not but I am almost positive it is from the blower, no noise from down low just up top.

I think alot of us with Steig ports are having this problem, although it doesnt seem to be effecting anything.....

air cavitation? was your idle tuned up in your tune? I have a little hallow noise from my blower until my foot is on the gas (seriously just resting on the pedal) with my 4 lb pulley

wow! I'm not the only one!! :shrug: what gives tho, seriously, that's weird. mine went away after my "tuner" (I put it in ""'s because it was strictly performance--I can't wait to get it tuned correctly) set the idle at about 1000, which, I think, is too high.

saw a post on f150online yest bout this and Sauvy asked if the person had took the rotors out himself and put the back in himself after the port. Said if he had to put some grease on the bearings before puttin rotor pack back in. just a thought. heres the link http://f150online.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217027
