Interior problems.......
Over last weekend I cleaned the 250 up both inside and out and I noticed on the drivers side the holder for the floor mat was ripping out of the carpet. I also noticed on the back of the back seat on the drivers side the material at the top corner was beginning to seperate at the seam. I just called the dealer and they are gonna order a full replacement carpet and the rear seat back from Ford. I don't know how long it will take to get them in but I hope the replacements will not take long to come in. Also yesturday while driving I started noticing a "cricket" type noise that only happens while in motion. It wasn't affected by braking or accelerating and seemed to be very steady. Has anyone else experianced this strange noise from their 250. I have an 03' 250 4X4 V-10 CC short bed with almost 23K on the clock. Anyone with any ideas on the noise. Thanks in advance.

03-22-2 NOISE - DRIVESHAFT CENTER BEARING NOISE - VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 6/1/2002
DRIVESHAFT - DRIVESHAFT CENTER BEARING NOISE - VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 6/1/2002
Publication Date: October 17, 2003
FORD: 2002-2003 F SUPER DUTY
ISSUE:
Some 2002-2003 Super Duty F-Series vehicles built after 06/01/2002, with a multi-piece driveshaft may exhibit a squeaking and/or squealing noise from the center bearing while driving. This noise is produced when the bearing seal rotates in the bearing outer race.
ACTION:
To service, replace the center bearing. Use a center bearing assembly with a white paint dot (built after 6/9/2003). Determine the style of the driveshaft per (Figure 1) and (Figure 2), then follow the appropriate Service Procedure below.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE: WHENEVER DRIVESHAFT REMOVAL IS NECESSARY, IT IS IMPORTANT TO PAINT MARK THE DRIVESHAFT TO THE TRANSMISSION (OR TRANSFER CASE) AND THE REAR AXLE. ADDITIONALLY, MARK A PAINT LINE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE MULTI-PIECE DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY. THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE DRIVESHAFTS ARE REASSEMBLED IN THE SAME ORIENTATION AS ORIGINAL. FAILURE TO REASSEMBLE THE DRIVESHAFT IN ITS ORIGINAL ORIENTATION MAY RESULT IN AN UNBALANCED DRIVESHAFT CONDITION.
