Can you help??
Hi Guys,
I am new here, but have visited and found this site extremely helpful when doing things on my truck...so thanks for all the great threads and posts!!
So I have an 06 F150 5.4L...It has 75,000 miles on it and has been a great truck for me. Something has just started making a noise and I am not sure what it is. It only happens when I take off from a stop...I think about the second to third shift in...it's almost like the noise anti lock brakes make when it doesn't want to stop. But..it doesn't happen everytime I take off from a stop....only sometimes. It sounds like it's coming from underneath the truck back of the cab. It's a strange noise...but I think we all know what antilock brakes sound like when they are trying to work...that grinding/humming noise or something. If you guys have ANY ideas...I'd appreciate it!!
Thanks!!

Thanks guys....no, it is not a clunk. I had it at the dealership last week and they said that everything checked out fine and they could not hear it. I told them that it was an intermittent noise and that it doesn't happen all the time. it seems to only happen when I am accelerating slowly ...when I power through after leaving a stop it doesn't seem to do it at all .

Look into the rear diff clutch discs for a limited slip differential! Thats what it sounds like but it normally does it in turns a little skipping you could say!

Thanks strawsb...what does that all involve if you don't mind me asking? Are you saying it is a problem with the rear differential? And do you mean the discs are going bad? If you could elaborate on that a little...that'd be great!! I can't thank you guys enough for your thoughts!!

Ok....that's what I will check then because that does sound like where the noise is coming from. Also....since reading your reply I've researched a bit more and it reminded me that on occasion when I make a left or right turn....I do feel a vibration which many posts have said that may be related to a bad clutch pack. So....onto checking out the rearend. Thanks so much!!
