** NOISE ** Can anyone tell me what is causing it??
I have a 2004 F150 SuperCrew and there is this really loud and annoying "rattling/squeeking" noise that can be heard inside the cab when you hit any type of bump. I've taken it into the dealer several times and they have done minor adjustments but the noise is STILL THERE!!! This is really driving me crazy... Can anyone out there help me???? What is causing this noise???
Thanks in advance!

I don't think it's the ashtray. It seems to be coming from the bed of the truck. (Or somewhere towards the back.) If you look in the mirror while driving, you can see the bed shaking and the noise goes along with the shaking. The last time I took it to the dealer, they tightened some of the bolts that were on the bed. (Said that "a few that were loose.") Does that give you guys any ideas???? The truck only has 24K miles on it. I've had new tires put on recently, the alignment checked, and a dampier put on it. After all of that, the noise is still there...

I read a few posts about a recall on the butyl noise insulator "pads" that are between the frame and the bed itself. This could be what you're describing. I'll see what I can find.
- All I can find on this is a part number that was used. Try having your dealer look up part number "PM12F." I found this on an Oasis report that was run on a truck that had the bed pad recall. Hopefully this will help.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll check them all out to see if I can figure this thing out. (The odd thing is, that the noise isn't consistent. Some days it's fine. Some days it makes me want to sell the truck. All while driving the same roads!)
If anyone else thinks of something feel free to share!! Thanks again...

I've got the exact same noise. I only notice it when the rear slider is open and when the bed shakes after hitting a bump. I've been all over the truck - no broken leaf springs, spare is tight, no stray debris lodged anywhere, no bed liner and removed the jack the day I bought the truck. I took it to the dealership and they tried tightening the bolts - helped for about 3 1/2 minutes (give or take a few seconds). They want me to bring it back and have the insulator pads replaced (under warranty)... service manager advised this is a common issue, but he didn't know of any recall for it.
