    Growling sound at start up

    Has anyone out there had this problem? I have a 2011 EB that growls when I start it in the colder weather. It is loud enough to be heard from about 50' away and sounds like it is coming from either under the hood or behind the dash. I haven't noticed anything not working but am concerned that something will quit or break in the future.

    I thought I would start here instead of going to the dealer and paying $100.00 to have them tell me it is something simple.

    It's just that power monster coming to life lol jk. Check underneath your truck and see if any of the exhaust pipes are cracked or have holes in them. Check the exhaust manifold as well.

    I don't think the trucks had that audio-improved V8 sound

    Possibly the timing chain?
