Vehicle is a 2012 crew cab long box 6.0 liter with 60k miles. Problem has been happening for about a year. Back into the garage and it sounds like a fan is running under the box. Only things in that area are the muffler and the fuel tank.  Rear end is behind the sound. Loud. Like when you walk in front of a vehicle in a parking lot and the auto fan kicks in. Can hear it now from almost 50 feet away. Only time I have ever heard it is in my garage when pulling in after the trip home. Never in a hotel lot that may have have a similar trip. If it's a overheating isssue, I should have heard it other times. I probably cool down the truck as I get close to home better than staying on the road. If I let it run to see what happens,  the battery will be dead in less than 45 minutes. Piling in the dogs and cruising neighborhood  for 5-10 minutes has usually helped but headed out on my second trip.

Hard to say without hearing it but my first thought would be maybe the ABS pump motor might be stuck on? Only thing is they are usually up under the driver seat area of the frame.

I know the fuel pump used to be in the gas tank,  I'm guessing they still are, is it possible that is malfunctioning in some way to keep pumping? Just a guess there's not much in that area with an electric motor. I have a 2012 extended cab with a 6.0 and haven't experienced anything similiar.

Manager of our truck fleet is leaning towards fuel pump stuck wide open. Left the battery unhooked last night in hopes of resetting a relay. No such luck or maybe actually lucky in that a mechanic can now witness the ailment. Strange that it would only act up in my garage.

It was the fuel pump making the noise. Did it once more time since and pulling the fuse shut it off. Fuse was extremely hot but I didn't put much thought into it. Monday it pretty well died on me. Just enough left to limp it 30 miles to the shop. Was strange that it ran smooth after cooling off while switching some gear into a spare truck. Ended up being an issue in the fuse block and they are replacing the entire block right now.

Company is a good customer and they understand our needs for these trucks so they put in a new fuel pump as well under the warranty. Gave it a good workout the past two days. Almost 500 miles and a lot of heavy trailering.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
