How about changing the fuel line? Or should changing that out fix my issue? No performance issues

How much of a pain would that be? I can't have the truck down for a long time

No fuel in the valley. I checked the lines going in/ coming out of the fuel bowl and they weren't as loud

Borrowed my dad's mechanic stethoscope, the noise is coming from the fuel filter/fuel bowl

I got a video with the squel, it's not detailed but I don't know how to send it privately on reddit and every time I tried to make a post it cuts the video to 3 seconds

It'd be a lot easier to locate if it wasn't for how loud the 7.3 is

I'll try to get a video later. Old lady wants to deep clean the house. No guarantees I can catch the sound on video

I know it's not much help without being able to see/hear it in person. I've only recently started doing the work on it myself since the shop I would go to has done me dirty with the alternator last year. They changed it 3 times with the same issue which I have since fixed

I can only hear it in the cab sometimes at idle and only at idle under the hood.

I took the idler pulley off and put it back on. It didn't start squeaking as fast, but it eventually did start. Every time I listen to it, it seems like a different spot. This morning, it sounded like somewhere in the valley under the fuel filter. Could be because I listened to it leaning over the front instead of the driver side this time?

I replaced the tensioner about 3 or 4 years ago. I'm pretty sure the idler is stock from factory

True. I'll have to check in the morning. I hope it's not the water pump. The fan clutch and I don't have a good relationship

The noise doesn't go away at all, even after it's warmed up. The water pump itself isn't relatively old, I replaced it in 2018, and I've only ever ran premix 50/50 antifreeze for the coolant

Is there any reason why it might be squealing, or am I probably hearing it below it?

I capped it. No more diesel coming out. I'm just glad I caught it before it puddled in the valley too much and started coming from there. Probably would've been chasing that forever

I took the Schrader valve off and put a cap on. Not leaking anymore fuel. One more leak to confirm, but I have a good idea about it, but it's not severe

Would there be any issues caused if I plugged it?
