slipping? noise when pulling camper
Hi. We have a 2015 F150 5.0 4x4 xlt. When in colorado last summer i noticed when going up a steep mountain when the truck would start to slow down and I would press gently on the accelerator to maintain speed there would be a brief slipping noise coming from the rear end somewhere. It scared the bajeebies out of me. I was towing a 4500 pound camper using tow-haul. When we got home Ford could find nothing wrong with the truck. Today I pulled the camper to the shop to have some work and the same thing happened. Flat Florida road doing 25 miles per hour. I slowed down for a car turning in front of me and then when i accelerated it happened. Any advice? Three old ladies leaving for colorado again soon. thanks for your help.

Thanks Ray. The truck has about 22,000 miles on it. I have had all of the Ford recommended services done. Haven't noticed what the tachometer does it happens so quickly. When I get the camper out of the shop I am going to pull it up and down the road and check that out. What is a CEL? My service advisor at the Ford shop ( I told them about this problem previously)says they put it on the diagnostic computer and no codes showed up.
