Annoying creaking and squeak
I have a 2013 fx4. I got the TSB done for the u joints making noise and I also got a new transfer case put in because mine wasn't engaging. After I got it back, my truck started making weird noises when taking off and stopping. In the video, you'll hear the creaking noise... It sounds like clicking...and the squeak. I can't for the life of me figure it out.

I had the same sound that drove me crazy for months. I tightened up the bolts on my skid plate and that helped a lot. The noise was still there so I took my skid plate off and no noise at all anymore !! Try it !! I would have never guessed that was the source of the noise but my dealer said to try it and to my suprise it completely solved the noise.
just an update, one Ford dealership said it was the driveshaft, another Ford dealership said that it's the bump stops and springs, the people that put the lift on said it was the drive shaft.
I took it to 4 wheel parts yesterday...they greased the slip yoke and re-tightened everything...still makes the noises. Since the Rough Country 6" lift doesnt come with a rear driveshaft spacer and the others do, we ordered one to see if that's the problem. It'll be here next week. Hopefully this is it
