I am pretty sure that it is the cooling fan constantly turning on, you have to remember that the GX is no small SUV. That V8 will heat up and quick. On my GS430, the fans always roar on every few minutes and that is a smaller V8 than yours...

As long as the coolant is fresh and the temp. gauge on the instrument cluster is in the middle, you are fine.
