Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Making Roaring Noise After Playing In Mud?

The front of my truck is making a roaring noise after playing in the mud while your going down the road is the only time I hear it. It sounds as if I have really aggressive tires on it. I did do my best to clean out from under it... It doesn't seem to feel like its dragging. 4x4 engages fine? I mean it started only after a few days of playing in it, I didn't wash the mud off right away. Should I be concerned? I mean if its just some dirt up against something, then that is no big deal, but my ranger whined when it was low on differential fluid. However its not whining, just roaring.... Should I be concerned? Truck drives fine... no issues there.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 - Shocks Making Strange Noise?

Ok, just asking a question for a buddy. He has 78k on the truck and the shocks make a strange noise. When one of us bounces the truck up and down on the bumper (simulating a load) the shocks "click". Now I looked and it looks like the bushing may be wore out, and the actual bolt that goes through the upper shock mount is touching the top and then the bottom, emitting the "clicking" noise. Is this just a normal wore out shock, or perhaps a defect? Just asking because I am not as familiar with suspension systems.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Rear End Making Weird Noise / Truck Shaking

Ok I have a 2004 F150 Fx4 ext. cab. I had the truck for sale and due to something coming up I was unable to sell it. Kinda wish I did now. But anyways the truck was running great up until last week. I was drove it to work which I normally dont do. On my way home the rear end was making a weird noise. Kinda like a brake sticking. I tapped the brakes a few times and it seemed to work. Then a mile down the road it was doing it again without me trying to come to a stop and the back end was shaking. I pulled over and crawled under the truck to see if a u-joint was going bad. Everything seemed good. It never happened again until today.

This morning I hoped in the truck and went to my parents house. Its about a 5 mile drive and truck was acting fine. Came home and it was still fine. A few hours later I figured I would go up to the fire department I am on and find something to do up there. I got in the truck and didnt make it 5 feet from where I was parked and there was this bad noise followed by my whole truck shaking. It felt like the truck was going to fall in pieces in my driveway. I stopped looked around and didn't notice anything wrong. I figured I would just try to drive a little bit further and it was even worse. So I put it in reverse and it was normal. I put it in Drive again and thought my teeth were about to fall out of my mouth.

What could cause this? I know my transmission was leaking some oil from where the gear shifter comes out. I would check the trans fluid and add some if needed. I drove it up to the fire hall Monday night and did notice a slight burning smell but that was the only time I smelled it. Could it be the transmission?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Won't Accelerate - Making Noise - Fuel Injector?

I bought a 2005 F150 supercrew w/ 5.4 Triton engine brand new. It now has 16000 miles on it and all was well until...

I was driving to work 2 days ago and all of a sudden my truck started acting all weird. I couldn't accelerate and it seemed as though I was driving over rumble strips. I went directly to the garage and they told me that 2 fuel injectors mal-functioned and that flooded everything with gas. I needed 2 injectors and 8 spark plugs. The next day the garage called and said that they replaced the parts but now there is a terrible knocking noise and that I needed a new engine.

I am not a car wiz so what other things should I be aware of? What other questions should I be asking?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 - Door Making Squeaking Noise When Going Towards Closed Position

I have just purchased an 06 long bed f-150 with high mileage on it. I am going thru it slowly as time permits. I had found the passenger door stop, not the hinges, to be making a "quite" squeaking noise as it is started toward a closed position. A simple drop or two of oil I am thinking, but it then really increases in sound. I then clean it off and apply a synthetic grease, still loud, maybe louder. I finally got it back to a "quite" squeak again by cleaning it. Use lubricant, or should I just leave it cleaned as it is now?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 - Auto Hubs Making Noise / Cannot Shift From 2wd To 4H While Moving

I recently purchased as used 2006 F-150 Lariat 4x4 with 77K miles. I am having an issue with the shift on the fly, I had a vacuum leak that was causing the auto hubs to make noise on occasion but it has never allowed me to shift from 2wd to 4H while moving. I have replaced the IWE solenoid and repaired the vacuum leak but it still will not engage while moving. The light for 4H comes on but the hubs will not engage. The dealer where I purchased the vehicle is not a ford dealership and whey have been trying to solve the problem but to no avail.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: F250 VVT Making Noise When Warm - Both Cam Position Sensor Codes

2008 Ford F-250 5.4L VVT. Setting both cam position sensor codes and both VVT PO12 and PO22 Codes. Runs good for a few minutes cold then goes to making noise and retards timing when warms up . Replaced both cam phasers and 1 vct solenoid and camshaft position sensors, changed oil and filter with motorcraft.. Tried unplugging VCT solenoids but still runs bad when warms up. Ran bad when engine was cold or hot before replaced phasers now only when warms up. Is it a oil pressure problem pressure shows good on dash gauge.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 - Making 5x5 Beeping Noise Shortly After Start Up - Truck Died Abruptly

i have a 2006 f-150 xlt, i was driving it today and it started making a 5x5 beeping noise shortly after i started it up. I read on a few forums that that beeping is a warning about the passenger airbag sensor or something. anyways it went away and kept driving for 5 minutes or so when suddenly the dash went out and all the gauges dropped but i was still able to drive fine. A minute later the engine just died and i managed to pull over to the side of the road. now nothing works when i turn the key, not even a light, its just a dead weight, the remote locking doesn't even work. the only sign of life is a LED from my phone charger that is plugged into the outlet. the battery is only 2 months old so its not that.

Ford :: Expedition 2008 Making Grinding Noise When Driving

I drive a 2008 Ford Expedition and every time I go on long trips after a while on the road the car starts making this grinding noise when driving uphill. As soon as i take my foot of the gas it stops. It has never done it in the city, always when driving on the freeway. I can manage it if I keep the gas pedal as steady as possible but if I try to give it more gas it will start making the noise. This does not happen all the time, it is intermittent. I was told that it might be the 4x4 engaging on the front wheels but I am not sure what it has to do with the speed or gas. I have changed the spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Stalling While Making Turns?

I've got a 4.6 in a 2005, 178000. I assume the 4.6 in an E150 would be the same as the F150.

So anyways, Started and an intermediate problem where sometimes it would stalling when making turns, such as entering a driveway, making turns or going from reverse to drive. Now its turned into more of a problem with stalling, even while in just idle and not just in gear.

At idle RPM is sporadic from 300-900. Here is where I'm at New Fuel Filter. ECM is reading 38 to 41 psi fuel pressure at idle and when the throttle is pushed.
Took a chance and changed the belt since the old was a bit lose. Even ran the engine without a belt and there was no change in my problem.
I've removed the throttle body, just learned these engines don't have an IAC, they use and IAC motor instead. I don't know how to test that but I'm googling it.

Back of throttle blade is all gunked up so I'm cleaning that now. It has no codes btw.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Trans Hasn't Failed But Starts Making A Whining Sound At All Speeds

We have 3 company work trucks. They are F150's 2WD V6 - one is a 2008 and two are 2007s. They have all had thrust bearing problems. We just had the #9 thrust bearing replaced in the 2008 for the third time. The trans hasn't failed but starts making a whining sound at all speeds which varies in pitch relative to speed. The 2008 has had it replaced at: 40K, 60K, and now 70K. One 2007 had it replaced at 60K and 90K. The other 2007 had it replaced at 50K.

Our dealership says they've never seen anything like it & that our trucks are the only ones they've seen this on. They are suggesting it's happening due to driving behaviors. All 3 trucks have a single driver and aren't switched or shared. The 2008 doesn't carry or tow. The 2007s both carry hundreds of pounds of tools daily. This just seems like too much of a coincidence to be driver induced and that we're the only ones with these issues.

Caprice :: A/C Compressor Clutch Making Lots Of Noise When Working

Pretty sure the a/c clutch on my LT1 is going - making lots of noise when working and also when not.

I've heard on some forums that this could be a bearing? Is it advisable for me to replace the entire clutch or just this bearing?

Either way, I assume I'll have to pull the clutch for which I think I'll need two special tools:

(1) clutch holder tool to break nut loose.
(2) pulley puller.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2004 - Lifter Making Tap Noise

2004 auto ranger 120k miles

When I bought it there was a lifter making a tap tap tap. Its not all the time or consistent which makes me feel its a failed lifter as opposed to a rocker arm that is loose. Ive tried the "stuff" in the oil. Seafoam, marvel mystery, etc with no luck. So this coming winter Im going to break it down and replace the lifter.

First question. I havent put a stethoscope on it or used the "hose to ear" method to track down which one it is. Im pretty sure its the right bank in the front. Will it be obvious which one it is when I get it broken down?

Next. At 120k miles should I be worried about the other lifters? Ive never had one fail on anything I own and hardly ever hear them on other cars. I pretty much thought that hydraulic lifters were failproof anymore. Should I be worried about the others?

Next next, do I need to be worried about damage to the pushrod and or rocker arm? Should I be prepared to replace those as well? Finally anything else to be concerned about or consider?

Golf V R32 :: 2008 - Making Noise When Steering At Low Speed?

I've had my MY 08 R32 (Australian delivered) for almost 4 months. It's done about 8300kms so far and I've noticed awhile ago that the car makes clunking noise when I'm turning the steering wheel a lot at low speed (eg. car parks). I'll probably book in for a oil change and ask the service centre to look into it.

Acura - Tsx :: 2008 - Making Noise When Driving / Braking?

My 2008 Acura with 80k+ miles seems to be making a noise when I drive, when I brake. Speed doesn't seem to make a difference although it doesn't start until after I have been driving for a few minutes. Sounds like it is coming from the rear passenger side. I have no clue as to what it could be.
