i just bought a 07 f150, its got just over a 1000 miles on it and is making this rattling sqeaking noise when cold very loud at first then it slowly goes away???? any ideas??? it really p's me off, its brand new please help me!

 

I think we are going to need more information. Where is the noise coming from? Is the truck in gear? Park?

 

i thought you got a 2008 harley davidson for $30k total that included tt+l......???? we would love to see the picks you will be the first on the site

 

troberts , lon long story but no i got a 07 screw black chrome package its pretty nice, it makes the noise when in drive and reverse only. its hard to describe the noise its not a belt like noise its like a vibration, sqeaking rattling type noise is the best way to describe it

 

For what it's worth my '05 needed a new belt within the first 1,000 miles .. it was squealing so bad I didn't have to tell the mechanics what was wrong with it when I took it in!

 

Slam your tailgate, see if that helps!

 

nah its not a belt, im a mechanic in the army so i know a little about trucks but never heard anything like this before and im not gonna tear into it since its under warranty. any ideas?

 

It's under warranty, why worry about it?

 

Where is it coming from? Mine was making a squeek, rattle in the drivers wheel area, seems to have gone away... Also, my cup holder rattles when it is cold...

 

my thoughts exactly i would drive it to ford drop it off and say fix it

 

Thats how I fix all my trucks problems. I just give the tailgate a good slam.

 

I'm new to the site, and i have an 04' F150. I have a similar sound, it almost sounds like a clacking i guess you could say. I have been told it is a bad timing chain tensioner. It only happens when engine is cold, then it quiets down, and if i hold break and play with the throttle i can hear it when the engine is on going back to idle but only when under a load. If i was you, i would take it to the dealer. I have 88K on my truck so i have to fix it myself, sucks but oh well.

 

seriously. my tranny died at 72k, that was no fun...

 

I agree i would definetly take it back and make it known that you are having issues already and i belive that you have thirty days to return the vehicle at least in florida you do
