After some kind of rough off-roading, my truck started whinning. It sounds like it is coming from the radiator fan. It reacts with the throtle, whine gets louder when I'm on the gas. The truck still runs great, but I am a little worried, can I fix it myself?

Could be touching the Radiator shroud-or loose accessories/belts

Try removing the drive belt, and starting it to be sure it is an accessory. If it is whining that much you should be able to turn the pulleys by hand to find the whiner
