Bad u-joint on a 2010 f150 already...
My truck is squealing from the back end.
I had my girl drive the truck while I walked beside it, and its clearly coming from where the pinion shaft and driveshaft meet..
if I spray lube on that area (u-joint and the plastic retaininer looking thing) , it goes away... for awhile..
Anyone else have this problem?

Crap, I hope that's not my problem. At very slow speeds, like driving in a parking lot, I hear squeeking every couple of seconds. I wasn't sure what it was but reading your email worries me. I too have a 2010 with just a little more than 5,000 miles.
I hope they don't give me crap about the leveling kit.

I got it fixed today.
I got a new pinion flange out of it.
The plastic protector for the seal was all chewed...
I had pics, but I syned my phone and erased them accidently.......
So they gave me a new flange, and did the seal while they were there.....
Noise... Gone...
The grey plastic piece in the pic is what bit the dust... it was all chewed..
I wish I had the real pics to show how chewed that plastic retainer was....yuck..

I have a hypothesesis..
When I was trying to figure out what the hell was squealing for myself, I stumbled upon a huge clump of harden(chrystalized) salt and sand right on top of the diff....
It was so hard, like rust chunks... I chipped it off around the flange..
I'm positive it was just build up...
Hope it doesn't happen again...
Thanks for the inquisitive chat fellers.
