Howling noises can take on many forms, but the one that comes immediately to mind is the rear axle. The ring and pinion gears can set up a nasty howl that might occur when you step on the gas and not when you are off the pedal, or vice versa. If there is severe damage, it might make it harder to move the truck so you will feel a power loss. But that is all the speculation I can do from this desk, you need to have somebody drive this truck and listen to it. Contact YourMechanic to have a technician come out to your home or office to check out your Howling Chevy and let you know what is the problem.
