35mph braaaap braaaap

I have had my truck for 3 days F 550 build date 05-19-03

At 35 mph it makes a braaap braaap noise and is very loud. It goes away when i bring up to 39 mph. It sounds like cat convertors but way worse

I havent found any other with this noise and am inquiring about possibilities.

I do have the 1800-2000 rpm drone, bellhouse leak and slow reponse steering. But i love this truck nd am in no way complaining, just wondering if the noise may be a bad injector

I had a steering problem as well. Dealer had to replace the steering box because it was binding internally. Works fine now.

I dont mind the drip and it actually hasnt reappeared but if it did it doesnt bother me and cant hurt anything.

The 50mph drone doesnt bother me either because its not overwhelming.

But the 35mph noise does bother me and is really loud sounds like cats blowing apart.

I will do a few steering tests today and if i pass both then i will take in and demand a free balance and allignment. I think steering may have gone out because it was shipped to body company and back.
