you have the 22re and if it is just a little whistle then i am pretty sure thats normal with that throttle body but dont hold me to it. yea there great trucks i am in the process of redoin mine right now. they will go any where cause they have such a good wheel base.

The guy before you may have installed a throttle body spacer kit on the engine to boost power. They work incredibly well, but some are noisier than others.

Does it sound a bit like a turbo? At idle, it whistles, and if you bump the gas the pitch goes up a bit, then disappates? If so, my guess would be a throttle body spacer.

It can also be an EGR valve.
