I quarantined in the GMC for a few days and ran all the systems. Everything worked great. My quarantine ended about the time i ran out of propane.
I did not shut off the furnace but i figured if it tried ot light it would just give up when it detected no LP.
So today it came on and sounded like a very loud compressor. It went on for several minutes before i investigated and cut power to the 12v power supply (battery is dead)
There's just the burner, the blower and some switches, i cannot imagine what is in that furnace capable of making such a noise.

Most likely your fan motor needs the bearings lubricated.

I'll just chalk it up to "weird" and move on.
I connected LP to it and it lit without drama or noise.
