man you are one level headed cat to be able to put up with all this and still stay so upbeat.. half of my post would have been $#(@@( ing by now haha..

im not really sure what the problem with the sucking noise could be.. but I just recently started getting a similar sound at idle and while starting off, sounds like theres another giant fan somewhere when i first start the truck and first start to get going, once i get over about 3k rpms i either dont hear it or it goes away.. but usually when i get to a light or stop sign the sound is gone... and i definitely am not feeling a loss in power.. hehe

anyway i started getting that sound after coverting to mobil1 in the oil and putting 1 bottle of seafoam into the gas tank, 1/2 bottle into the oil the crankcase (oil has been changed since and still have the sound) and 1/2 bottle dripped into the intake through the hose coming out of the block about 2-3 inches back on the passenger side.. so i guess what im saying is check those types of areas for a possible cause of the noise

David,
Sorry for the thread jack, but Etl's problem might be the fan clutch.

Now, back to your sucking noise... ,it's possible they didn't connect the elbow between the air box & the fender well properly if they had the air box out when they had it all apart.

dub,
man, &*#@@*!!! WHATS UP WITH THE ^&$#@## HIJACK...........lol im just kidding, you know that, and i dont mind if it helps someone else out.......
i will check the airbox again, but it seemed to be connected correctly....

etl,
ill take that as a complement.....lol i figure i could cuss up a storm, kick the cat, stomp, storm around, throw rocks, have people mad at me for being the meanest 6'9" customer to walk thru the door at the shop, and my truck would still not run right.....
i am upset, but more tired of it all. i just miss my truck running the way it should.
i dont even want to drive it anymore running like this
when given the choice, i never thought i would CHOOSE to drive my old chevy van over the vehicross, but thats where i am at. its that miserable and embarassing to drive the vx, and its lack of performance at this point. this too shall pass........

thanks for the continued help, it means alot
