Normal limited slip noise?
I'm getting a "hissing" noise from the rear end in low speed turns. This is my first L/S rear end. Is the noise normal and due to the L/S feature? (no chattering or vibration)

Are you sure it's coming from the rear end? The power steering makes a hissing noise during slow turns and that may be what you are hearing.
LS units usually are quiet, until they start going bad, and then they chatter. If your really hearing a hiss sound from the back of your truck I'd have it looked at.

Howdy!
Noise?! Doesn't that come standard with F-150s??
Have a noisy day.
------------------
My ride:
Basics:
- '99 XLT F-150
Under hood and back:
- Ram air (Don't ask me how
)
- AiRaid intake
- Flowmaster DF 50 Series
- 24x3.5" Stainless steel slashed tips (Yes! Solid polished SS, no cheesy chrome-plated)
...
Outside:
- Precision polished billet grille and plate holders
- American Racing 17x8s polished Pythons (Flushed front AND back)
- Goodyear.. something tires (Expensive is all I know. LOL. No Firestone firecrackers for me either)
- Rhino liner
- Ford nerf bars
- Ford bed rails
...
Inside:
- My girlfriend!
...
Fun stuff:
- Dual sirens Black Widow alarm system/keyless entry (Enough decibels to go deaf in a garage )
- Custom driving lights (Just a cool blue)
- 2 High-Watt lights behind grille (For people who cut me off )
- Dual horns (For people who, again, cut me off)
- Dual wheel locks (So I won't be driving home on bricks!)
- Spare wheel lock (So I won't have to use a brick as a spare )
...
Best of all:
- Texas A&M University aTm front plate! Gig'em Aggies!!
