Weirdest Noise I've Ever Heard - Help?
#16

I had the same noise in my 04 early last fall. When the truck was cold. The cold temps in the morning mixed with not enough vacuum to hold the 4 wheel drive from engaging was the culprit. I let it go to long, and it ruined my hubs. Only did it with a little throttle, trying to lug a taller gear.

2010 SuperCrew Lariat 4WD...
At cruising speed, say 55mph...not on the throttle much, not slowing down, just cruising along and holding speed...
All of a sudden I get this noise coming from the front end that sounds like...well...best way I know to describe it is to imagine running over a section of chain link fence and dragging it along the pavement for 30-40 yards under the front axle. Then, after a few seconds, it stops. I don't notice any kind of rough ride, no stalling engine, no loss of performance....just sounds like there is a chain link fence hung under the front of the truck.
It happened once two weeks ago and I scratched my head, thought maybe I ran over something. Inspected as thoroughly as I could under the truck - All looks perfect. I chalked it up to "weird" and went on about my life. A couple of weeks go by, and boom, it does it again....this time on a different section of road. About 30 minutes later, it does it a third time. That was Friday. This is Sunday, and it hasn't done it sense.
I am thoroughly perplexed.
Any ideas?
I guess I will have to take it to the dealership, but I'm sure the won't be able to replicate it and it will be a wasted effort.

I know you submitted this a long time ago but I recently found I have the same noise in my 2010. Was just curious if you ever did find the cause. Saw lots of people had opinions but did any of them help
Thanks
