Help me find noise
Hi all!
I have a 2010 platinum 5.4 v8. There has a rattling / whistling sound usually above 40 MPH. I have not been able to figure it out. It sounds like something is loose or maybe air intake leak vacuum leak? i have bran new a new timing chain which has had no impact on the noise (but truck runs way better now). It is less likely to happen if its wet outside. More likely to happen when warm and dry. It does not happen if I’m not moving which makes it hard to find.
I found a video of a gentleman who had a similar (slightly less high pitched) noise and it ended up being a simple O2 sensor under driver side being loose. I’ve check this and banged around below and can’t find anything. I’ve attached a few videos - two of the noise while driving and one of the engine idling.
