Welcome to the forum!

Yes, it's normal to have a whistling sound if you install a thottle body spacer.

I have the same Cai and don't have any noise, so I would assume its the spacer or something isn't fitting right.

Welcome to the site, its just your throttle body. Its dirty. I have the same issue. I also run a aftermarket CAI and get the same noise. Get some Throttle body cleaner. That should do the trick.

Unfortunately, that throttle body spacer will do nothing for performance. Hope it was not too expensive.

Welcome aboard! Now that your here, you can post and search this site and check out the useful and non useful mods for your truck and save some cash.
