hey guys, i have a 2006 F-150 XLT. I've had it for about a year now, and im really getting tired of all the rattles. It started in the dash, making a clicking noise like two ball bearings or a loose bolt/clip. Now two new "noises" have shown themselves. One is over by the fuse box, it sounds like a styrofome sonic cup squeaking, and the other is somewhere behind me, i havnt even looked into it yet. I took my whole dash/steering wheel apart today looking for the rattle and i cannot find it. I just want to be able to drive without having to turn my music up to not hear all these moans and groans. Any advice?

 

That sucks!!! My only suggestion...take it to a mechanic and see if they can figure it out. I feel your pain...

 

Dynamating might help you out a bit..in the doors and on panels ETC to reduce vibrations. I have Scab and the rattles that come from the back doors drive me nuts since its not a solid frame in the middle that the doors close to.

 

My 06 150 KR screw doors rattle every bump I hit, about to drive me nutz!!! Not sure what it's going to take to fix them.

 

One suggestion -- may not be your source....try checking the outside black plastic shroud/vent under the wipers -- it will squeek where it contacts the windshield. Silicone spray fixes this and I looked forever in and under the inside dash before figuring it out from the outside.

 

Dealer fixed my door rattle under warranty by applying silicone caulking between the plastic door panel and the outer skin. Solved the rattling and it's been about a year.
