Default Magnacharger Noise at Idle
Just bought the truck and seens to run great but I have a few questions. Sorry they might be stupid! First one is at Idle the charger seems to be making a noise like a lack of lubrication. And the other is that I asume that the intercooler is for antifreeze but does this really work well to cool down the air or just the charger? btw07 nnbs 5.3 radix

The reservoir is for the water to air intercooler. Can you post up a video of the noise at idle?

Is it blower slap, like a knocking noise? Or is it a squeeling kind of noise? Like mentioned a video would be nice.

I am saying that it should be relativity quiet at idle. Have you noticed if the bypass actuator was working or not?

They come with oil in the nose.
