Help...High Pitched Sound
Finally got my SRT-6 Roadster!!!! But a few days ago I noticed a high pitched sound coming from my car. It sounds like its coming from behind the right front headlight. Could anyone help with the diagnosis, before I take it to the dealership??

It could be the other coolant circulation pump. It's located between the right headlight and radiator. It looks just like the ic pump. It Is for the rest.(Residual engine heat utilization)
