Hello all, about 5 months back I purchased my 2020 JT, recently (I don’t feel this is the problem but good to note) I changed my oil and filter did basic maintenance I chose to do it a little early at 4300 miles, now about 400 miles later, today my engine while accelerating sounds like a freakin tractor..... or a Chevy Silverado with 300k miles on it... what the heck is going on?!? My Dad also has a gladiator his has 2100 miles on it and I drove his and the same noise IS NOT THERE... any ideas? Anything helps thank you
Also truck is stock

Is it cold out now? Could be your fan clutch. Typically gets quiet after it's warmed up.

Did it sound like a loud blower/fan? If not then it's something else.

When I accelerate my engine sounds like a tractor and it’s much louder then normal, when I slow down the noise stops completely, it’s not a whining noise it just sounds like the engine is some how amplified, it kind of sounds like it’s starving for air, I checked the air filter and the filter box, unfortunately no clues

And when the engine is started and I’m outside the vehicle it sounds normal just during acceleration

When you're out driving does it go away after it's warmed up?
