A/C system? My truck does the same when I shut off with either the A/C or Defrost on, as the compressor runs in both positions.

That is actually coming from you. And it is more properly called a sigh. From having to stop driving such a fun vehicle!!!


But since I don't make mine feel neglected, it could be the fluids, including the A/C and cooling system just equalizing pressures. Are there any other symptoms? Performance issues? If not, wait. Warranty.

I had thought it was the fuel pump that was making those sounds? Ya know, getting ready for the next ride? I don't know...I'm just pulling stuff out of my ass.

There was a tread on this sometime back that will give you some info on this. Can't remember what the conclusion was.

Yes, there have been threads about this in the past. I think it was EGR and/or turbo vane related.
