Got a 2010 f150 I just bought about 6 months ago and I feel like it had the same small jump and clunk when I applied the brakes basically almost at a complete stop but still slowly rolling but I think it's gotten worse. I keep reading about the clunk from other forums so I didn't want this to be lumped in with them because I didn't know if the "jump" was also part of the "clunk" so if anyone has had that issue before please give me input.

So also (apparently to me and my friend only) my truck sounds like a diesel truck and I want it to stop because it's bothering me.

 

If you have a 5.4 3v then that's kinda a normal sound to them. That's the cam phasers.. If it sounds absolutely horrible diesel sound and like the engine doesn't want to run then your phasers are fried. Only way to fix that is to change all the timing components to new, and even then the noise may come back. Ticking noises could also just be your VCT solenoids opening and closing..

For the brakes I can't help you there sorry.

 

The 4.6 3 valve also had cam phasers.

I would recommend you have your brake system inspected by a professional.

 

Yeah it's the 5.4 so that makes me feel better knowing that. Thanks for the quick response.

 

Yep don't know how that slipped my mind. Thanks GLC

 

Welcome to the forum, Shaqatebabies. I'd get this in front of your local Ford Dealership so they can check out your brakes and the sound you're hearing. How many miles are on the truck currently? Come back and tell us what you find out.

The truck has 53.5k miles on it

 

Thanks for the quick reply, Shaqatebabies! If you decide to get your dealership involved, give me a shout. I'll be able to step in and assist once they've looked things over.

if you have the two part drive shaft, the slip yoke is sticking. see my post #12 in this thread:

try heavier oil to quiet the valvetrain. I use castrol 0w40 for a silent engine. 103k miles. don't let anyone tell you this engine was designed for 0w20. It was first released in Australia (5.4l 3valve) with a 5w30, 10w30 or 10w40 oil recommendation. The engine design hasn't changed since then. EPA fuel economy requirements have.
