chirping and a pop

Trying to figure out what's up with the truck. Just started a chirping, almost like the brakes when they get worn but my foots not on the brake pedal. Does it at times when I'm driving slow and hit a bump in the road. It's almost constant going down the road. This morning it added a pop pop when I was going about 2 MPH coming to a stop. It's got 67,000 on it. Bearings maybe? I don't feel it wobbling like I did in the other truck though when they went out. It's definately from the front of the truck

Sounds like maybe a wheel universal joint!!!

I'd bet it's one of your front struts. I liked to have never figured out where mine was coming from. At first I thought it was the brakes cause that's when it started. Then it got to soundin rough goin down the road. And from experience, don't try and guess which one it is. Replace em both.
If it is your bearings, it'll be the right side. Had two different trucks that the right side went out on. A 04 and an 07.

Universal joint or bearings were my first 2 thoughts. It makes that same sound even when I'm on fresh smooth asphalt, no bumps

Sounds like a CV joint

I had a wheel u-joint go out two different times on different trucks. That sounds exactly like what they were doing.

Trade it in on a Ford problem solved

Found On the Road Dead? NAHHHHHH What's a CV or U joint cost to get fixed?

Aint it 4x4 DD, front axles have CV joints like a front wheel drive car.

How much those run to get fixed?

You probably notice the pop pop sound when your going real slow and turning. You have to keep a eye on the rubber boots because if they get torn or get a hole in them it will let dirt and grit get in the joint and wear them out prematurely.

Some of them you can replace just the joint.....others you have to replce the axle assemby. I think on your model you replace the axle shaft assembly on whichever side its on. Could be from 300 to 500 bucks depending on the cost of the axle....thats installed.

Let's start at TWO HUNNERT.

Ats it G. REAL SLOW on the popping. Now about HOW MUCH does that cost to get fixed. LOL

If it makes the popping sound when yout turning its a CV joint.....if its going left its the left one. If it does it turning right then its the right one. If turning is not involved to make the popping noise then its possibly a wheel bearing. The wheel bearings on your truck are not serviceable......you have to replace the whole hub as a assembly.

If it involved duck tape you could do it yourself, if it is an axle they are not hard to install. Did 2 in 2 days winter before last on mine, when one breaks and you are in 4 wheel drive you are screwed, no more front end. First day we were stuck and had to be pulled out and the second day when we got back on the road the popping was unreal, nother side done gone out. Can get em at Oreilly's with a lifetime warranty for a pretty decent price, if that is what it is. "CHIRPING" to me sounds like a u joint like Speck said. Good luck.

Ford poerstroke diesel and a z71 chevy, drive chevys septing for my work truck, havent seen anything out there in a 3/4 ton that will hang with a 7.3 powerstroke, only reason I have a ford in the yard.

Have you changed a tire lately ? Check the lug nuts .

sounds like a bird and a fire cracker :biggrin

Bird with gas .

Check the front drive shaft, go under the truck and see if there any slack in it.the cv joints will pop while turning.My guess is the front drive shaft.

Could also be brake calipers sticking, but it sounds like G has it summed up.

If the truck is in 2 wheel drive is the front drive shaft even moving, on the older model it aint but not sure on the newer ones.

I sent him a PM about where to take it to have it looked at. A place that EZ and I both use.

4 wheel drive, Chevy Z-71

Front end has an electric actuator that engages the 4 x4

Make sure and have yer muffler bearings checked out :biggrin

OK now Jeffy. Ima smak you fer dat one. LOL Glad ya could stop by and say something Brotha

DD, have the front drive shaft u-joints checked. My 2000 Z-71 was doing that. Wound up having to replace the front have of the transfer case. U-joints were gone and the first time I hammered on it it banged enough to crack the case. Front drive shafts are NEVER checked when they service the vehicle. It's concealed up under the skid plate. I had the front axles replaced and still had the noise. U-joints cost less than $100. Front half of transfer case: $700 plus approximately $500 labot. Get it checked quick DD.

Id look fer a nest of baby robins for the chirpin and that pop one of fell in the fan blade.

LOL Jim. may have been the doves hidden in my truck when they saw me killin their cousins LOL

ill give you $500 for the truck just like it is

Dondon are you listenin check the drive shaft.Hurry up

make sure you check the flux capacitor, if that thing goes out you got some serious problems

What is your wife doing right now?
