When I shut off truck, sometimes it makes a groaning and whistling sound. Very strange.

It's likely the AC. Try shutting off AC or defrost a minute or so early and see if it goes away. It doesn't mean there's something wrong, it's just the refrigerant expanding and pushing itself backwards through the expansion valve.

Thanks for the reply.That would be possible but not likely since it is 18 degrees here.It sounds like a turbo unloading.
