So I have a 2007 F-150, I am starting to hear a noise from under the cab of the truck. It's a kinda loud squeaky noise. It only happens when I press the gas. It I am rolling down the road, but not pressing the gas, it makes no sound. Any ideas? Someone mentioned maybe a U-Joint? How much could this set me back? How many labor hours would this take? OH, it also does not seem to happen at higher speeds.

i got the same probs but with my honda civic.. well maybe same problem. try pushing on the hood. And if it squeeks its the hood. not potential your truck.

also, loud squealing sounds like some sort of belt

if its 4x4, i dunno if your transfercase is chain driven, but that could have some slop or something

It's 4x4, Auto. It also does it when I back up. The truck also shakes kinda bad at speeds from 30 to about 65.

my friend has an 01 F150 that seemed to have some of the same problems. it would literally feel like it was going to shake apart and made the worst sound. for him it ended up having to do with the exhaust system.

im surprised exhaust would cause that.

you might have a bad driveline

or something in your rear end could be worn out.

you should probably take it to a shop
