Noise on takeoff

Sep 09, 2003 1 Replies

Just wondering if anyone knows what the problem is here. I have a 97 F-150



4x4. When I hit the gas I hear a strange sound coming from the back of the truck. It's like a low tone squeal like something is slipping and also when I get into those slippery spots and the limited slip starts working I get a vibration like the rear end is fighting itself. Any clues?

Derek,

The first thing you want to check with any 4x4 concern is that the tires are all exactly the same size. Look on the side of the tires and check the sizes. One tire of a different size (such as a spare)will cause the 4x4 to feel like it's working against itself.
