Had this screech for a while now.
Seems more pronounced when cold.
Thought it was a belt issue but with new belts and pulley bearings checked it still does it...
Haven't taken it in to shop to see what they think....
Anybody else have a similar noise?

Sounds like the belts to me, but hard to tell in the video.

EDIT: Read what you wrote below. Thats weird.

Well it's a s****y day here so I ran over to the shop and first showed them the video and then took shop foreman for a quick ride.
Replicated the sound a few times,then as things warmed up it wouldnt make noise as easily.
Have to book it in for some quality time with shop,it only doing it when cold is gonna make it a bit harder to diagnos but they are leaning towards the turbos...

Hi Bosro,

I watched your video and I'd like to look into some options for you. Please PM me your VIN, and odometer reading. I'll see what I can do.

ford has tsb on the FEAD when temp reaches 40 degrees and below. had this problem on my Mustang GT.

Well it's been interesting....
After a couple of days of testing,the noise could be replicated all the time,and with their sound equipment it was coming from the drivers side turbo area.
New turbo ordered....truck ripped apart but....
Turbo appears good,exhaust manifold removed.
Visible soot and exhaust leak evident.
Gasket obviously toast.
Upon inspection of manifold it has a bit of manufacturing defect,not even close to being flat....
New manifold and gasket ordered...truck going back together.
I find it amazing that the noise it was making was caused by this....
Tomorrow I should have it back and we will see.

I am impressed with the work your dealership did on your truck. Many would have said it was "normal" for these trucks.

Bosro

Truck is back home....
Just like new,smooth running and no screech
Hopefully my one and only issue the Ecoboost.
