2000 f150 differential whining
I recently went on a trip to New York from Texas. I had been towing my two motorcycles on a trailer. On the way back coming through Tennessee I noticed a whining noise coming from the rear of the truck. I thought it may have been the trailer tires being that they were new and I had not heard this sound before.
Since then I have taken the trailer off and have driven my truck without the trailer and the noise is still there. I went to the Ford dealer and they informed me that it was probably my differential clutch plates.
Has anybody heard of this?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
PS My truck has 92,000 miles on it.

you might wanat to talk to a FORD dealer that has a clue what he is talking about. The whinning noise can be a bearing, or the gears them selfs, but not the clutch. The cluth does not have a function when drinving striaght. It slips when you turn a corner. IF you have chatter around a corner it is the clutch.------ Going down the road, when you back off on the throttle does the noise go away? If so, it might be the gears ( non loaded when you back off throttle). If it is a bearing whine, it porbably does it all the time, foot on the throttle or not. Either way, time to look inside. If it started at 90,000 then i would guess bearing.
