'04 F-150 FX4
4x4 5.4L


I occassionaly hear what can only be describes as something dragging under the truck. I hear it for about 10-15 seconds then it stops. This does not happen on a regular basis and I have yet to determine under what conditions this happes as it seems to be totally random.

Any ideas?

 

Did you check under the truck?

 

It might be the exhaust heat shield hitting the driveshaft?

 

Could be a dog

 

Could be a girlfriend or wife after driving (and denting) one of our F-150's..

 

Yes I checked under the truck, nothing appears loose and I have not run over anything, at least that I'm aware of

 

80% sure its the muffler heat shield rubbing the driveshaft, thats what it was on mine, easy to fix, just bend it away

 

LOL - damn road gnomes - they always get stuck around the oil pan

 

On a serious note....go with Sounds advice.
