Loud engine

I have a 94 Falcon on a Dodge B350 with a 360 motor. I notice it's very loud when starting to move or climbing a hill starting at a slow speed. Is this normal. I know it has a lot of weight to get moving and is working hard, but I'm surprised how loud it is.

I've had the camper about four months, but hasn't been used much since I acquired it. Hopefully, the weather will cool down and I can use it a lot before it gets too cold.

  • Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Along with all of the other work I need to do, I'll have the exhaust system checked.

    Hope all of you can get out and use your B's.
  • I once had a fan clutch let go on me and was stuck rotating at engine speeds full time. I can't explain the loud roar that came from that engine bay...
  • Have someone inspect the exhaust system for leaks, be sure to inspect the exhaust manifolds.
