Rear end wherrring sound
My 2004, F-150, Heritage, with 3.31 rear and 110,000 miles has been making a wherrring noise from the rear end at about 50mph, for about 5K miles. It sounds like I am running big mud tires. I don't haul or tow any weight. I see there is a TSB -4-25-08 with a kit that may fix the noise issue. However, it doesn't say whether this is a fix for a "low milage" noise or a 100K+ fix. I got a quote from the dealer of about $1,500 to install the kit. Does anyone have experiance with this type of noise and their thoughts on the fix kit vrs a full rear end replacement? Also is this a must fix soon, or a wait awhile fix?
