Noisy bed??

I just came back for a hunting trip in which I drove over a lot of dirt logging roads. Whenever I would hit like rumblestrips in the road (a lot of short bumps real close to each other) my bed would make a awful metal on metal rattling sound...I wasn't remotely going too fast either, and my bed was empty. Anyone else hear of this...my truck is a '06 Screw. Thanks!

I had the same trouble on my truck. The first thing to do is try the rear latches however you can also get yourself a can of the Ford Synthetic Lubricant and spray it liberally over you attach points and bushings. I went to go redo mine this weekend however and found out that the passenger side attach point is now missing the nut on underside of the bed after it comes through the bushings. I will get another one this week from ford. I have an 05 screw as well fx4 kind of weird that that nut would drop off. I could even see the threadlocker on the bolt.
