here we go agan, went to my dealer for a recall on my gas tank straps
ask them about a noise im getting when i start moving and make a turn.
this happens when you going slow in make a turn..

frist thing out of his mouth is yep ,this is a common problem
you looking at 1500.00-4000.00 on this job:mad:

my truck is a 2000
f150 7700

thx for any help on this scott

 

did he say what is actually causing the noise? I have a 2000 also and I have been having noise coming from it ever since i got it! they say its one thing and fix it and still having noise! bout to just sale it!

 

Check to see if it is a LS differential. If so, add some friction modifier and see if the noise goes away. Maybe a clutch is dragging.

 

I agree, but I would change the fluid first. How long since it was changed? Driven through deep water and fluid not changed afterwards? Until you pull the diff cover, there is no way to tell if there is damage or clutch packs totally shot.

Proper weight is 75W140.

 

oil is new ,just put new cover on last mouth .
just make the sound going slow and when turing to the right.
and now when u start out some times coming out of 1st gear makes a clunk..

thx all for the help
scott

 

OK, this may be waaay out in left field but anything's worth a shot!

I has rear end noise I was chasing for months. Even started a thread on it. I won't bore you with the details, but it was very similar to what you're going through. I was mere days away from buying parts and rebuilding my entire rear diff cause I was completely convinced that's what the noise was. Last minute I decided to check one more thing...

Of all things on this earth, my noise ended up being...a pad from the parking brake! The pad material fell off the backing plate and was laying down in that wheel area ratlling around under certain conditions.

 

You did not state whether it is a LS and whether friction modifier was put in. A LS requires the friction modifier.

 

I had my e brake pad come loose from the bracket on one side. Caused a click click click click noise. Replaced the pads and fixed the problem

 

U joint?


whatever you do, DONT PAY THE DEALER $1,500!!!
