This could cause the noise. I have to get a pressure gauge on it to see if that's the problem but the place to test it is a couple hours away and until I have work in that direction it can wait. I'll update this when I get to that point. Did you check the power steering fluid level? Mine will hum if fluid level gets low. Though that's usually only when turning.

Vmac3 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Something else to consider. Check the shaft that the spinner filter spins on. Sometimes over time the shaft wears out and the filter will not spin true and will wobble a bit and give you that hum.

alex g Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks Vmac and Jojo and everyone else that posted. I don't run this truck in winter and I'm hoping to get a chance to look at it soon. Vmac I see you worked in Toronto I'm in Dunnville if you attend any of the local truck shows I'll likely meet you in person eventually 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64155-strange-humming-noise/page/2/#findComment-466075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a great antique truck Show in Clifford every year. If you haven't been or heard of it. Hosted by great lakes truck club. Also Ontario antique trucks puts on a couple shows a year. I believe there on Facebook I'm not 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64155-strange-humming-noise/page/2/#findComment-466118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 How do I find out if she's Canadian? I assume with the vin? I haven' t looked yet... I would also like to find a forum on Internationals... I had a '73 scout back in the late 80's. It was my "woods buggy" up in Maine... Thanks guys.

Jojo Hopefully Alex won't mind if we steer off course . LOL I've added a link that may help. I have a soft spot for international's . My father always had one. So I have had a couple loadstars. Interesting part about the international forums is I always got more information about my Loadstars here on BMT than I ever got on an International forum. I would suggest what Alex said. Start a tread in other truck makes. There is a lot of knowledge amongst the BMT crew . https://oldihc.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/ih-serial-numbers-2/ 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64155-strange-humming-noise/page/2/#findComment-466133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
