grinding noise

hello,
I have a 2004 ford f150 xlt. I just replaced my brake pads and front left and back right calipers. After replacing this i went for a drive and there is now a new grinding noise. The grinding does not start until about 20MPH and only occurs when i am pushing the gas. the sound doesnt occur when i am going under 20 mph and doesnt work when i am breaking. Does anyone have any suggestions on what this could be?

I had this same problem after I replaced my front pads. I took it in and they said there was some safety clip or something rubbing and they put it back and it stopped. Shortly after I had sort of the same grinding noise come back and it ended up being bad bearings in the hub. Replaced the hub and have been noisefree for a few months now.

i have an 06 a buddy checked with code reader. c-1979&c1980 came up.iwe solenoid needs replaced. mine would stop making noise when i switch to 4hi and cme back when i go to 2hi. they say the iwe gets wet and contaminates the vaccum to the hubs. the replacement part is of anew design.

I had a smiliar problem only is was this high pitched shrieking/squeeking droning noise. I fixed it by pulling over to the side of the road and made my wife get out of the truck. All was quiet after that.
