Hissing sound under load, Chevy 350. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey,

So I just started getting a hissing type sound when the truck is under load, and you get on it. I don't hear it when I drive it normal, but like when getting on the freeway, it sounds like it is sucking air somewhere.

Not sure if it is just the normal sound of the air cleaner sucking more air or if I have a vacuum leak somewhere, I didn't notice it before. I have checked the upper vacuum connections, brake booster, distributor line, PCV, modulator (Upper connection) etc and all seem to be tight.

Where to look next?

Thanks Guys.
