No that's not the sound. That is constant the vac pump is only on like 20-30 seconds.

Agreed that is not the sound of the vacuum pump.

sounds like a bearing might be going in an idler pulley or something. Might want to grease your pulley bearings and see if it stops.

I was backing out of my driveway this morning to go buy me a new 2015 Mustang GT when I noticed something wasn't right. The noise really got to me, so I did some searching and I 100% have a bad vacuum pump. Needless to say, I'm getting this dealt with before I even consider the Mustang. This known, unaddressed issue affecting my children's safety is inexcusable.

I completely understand where you're coming from, Adawg888; what's the model year and current mileage on your truck? Please let me know; I'll use this information to research available options.

I sent you a PM just prior to posting this. Thanks.

Is it possible for them to be going and not have the issue all the time? I don't have the typical noise but brakes failed backing up today

FordService

Got it! Thanks, Adawg888. I'll check it out and get in contact with you as soon as possible. Talk to you soon!

I definitely suggest having your dealer take a look at your truck if this happened, Burnie329; they'll be able to diagnose if necessary, and advise the best next steps. Please let me know how it goes!

I know how you feel. I would be driving a 2015 F150 or a 2014/2015 F250 right now if it wasn't for this stupid pump, and more importantly how Ford has handled it. Looking to stop by a Chevy dealership just to look as I don't like the Rams. Its too bad between this pump and the rest of the truck the 2011 has not aged well at all for a highway truck. Now I get the Eco stutters and inconsistent power, feels like the plugs are bad or gapped to high but the dealr wants a tn of money to redo plugs and Im not sure he would even gap them right.

A monkey could gap plugs for you. You need a ratchet and an extension and a plug socket. They are easy to do I think my wife could do it. So many vids on YouTube show how to do it.
