squeaking from back of truck

[Bulletnjm]

Have your dealership take a look, Bulletnjm; they'll be happy to silence that squeak for you. What's the current mileage on your Raptor?

Hey Crystal, i currently have 37500 on the truck, i beleive it is out of warranty. Just wanted to see if there was a cheaper fix or if it was just nothing, before taking it in to Ford.

I've noticed some squeaking on my last F150 from the bolts that hold the tailgate panel on, check those. I added a few washers to shim it out on my last truck and it eliminated it. So far so good on the Raptor!

About once a month I throw WD-40 on the tailgate latch and the contact posts to make sure it never squeaks. Almost any 2004-2014 f150 that drives by has the tailgate squeak. It's pretty sad that every model does it. With the back slider open it will drive you nuts.

@NickPic83 any update on this? My truck is making a loud squeak as i drive forward for about 5-10ft then it goes away, my rotors and pads where changed about 7k miles ago so i doubt they are bad, any help is much appreciated, thanks.

I think it's my ebrake sticking slightly. If I engage and disengage it a few times the squeak goes away

I totally understand, Bulletnjm; let us know if you get to the bottom of the noise. If you need my help, you know where to find me.
