Say hello and ask questions!

First off, I'm trying to get over size diffrence. I went from an Excursion to an F150 regular cab. BIG diffrence!! Any how so far I love the truck. Best riding truck I have ever driven! One problem so far. There is this little chirp. Sounds like rear shock or something it's ok but when you have a truck this quiet it is really noticeable. Anyhow. Just thougth I'd say hello.

Welcome to the board Jo-Jo! What part of Mississippi?

Where is this chirp coming from? Have you tracked it? Do you have the power rear sliding glass? Have you checked to be sure the jack is securely fastened?

Nanner for you!

I'm from Philadelphia Ms. I have solid rear glass. It's hard to tell where it is coming from. Somewhere behind me. Sounds almost like a leaf spring or something.
Will have to check the jack.
Only options I have is limited slip, trailer tow package and owl tires.

By the way what does the little banna mean?

mmmmmmmmmm.... nanners....


Welcome to the site, jojo! My advise, have a trustworthy friend drive your dear new truck while your in back finding the source. I had a little issue with my rear driver side door. Took it to the dealer and rattle/squeek free. Well, almost, now the ashtray assembly is squeeky. D'oh!

Mmmmmm... fornacating 'nanners...

Cool thank's for the naners!!

I was riding home yesterday, listining to my chirp! It sounds more like someone droping a washer down on a bolt. Reather than a chirp. I checked the tailgate. Got in the bed and started jumping up and down (looked like a fool, should have seen the looks I got). Like some one sugested I'm just going to have to ride back there while my wife drives the truck.
