There is a grinding noise that comes from front passenger side of the engine bay when I start driving and the engine is cold. I only notice it when I stop at red lights and stop signs for a few minutes until the engine warms up. It does go on for a few minutes though. It's not a real harsh grinding, like the truck is shaking, but almost like the antilock brakes are purging or something - it's the length of time that it goes on that is troublesome. Thanks. And as far as donations go, we'll see from the response. Cheers.

The vehicle is under warranty. Have you had it checked at a dealer?
