Well picked it up. Noise I think is gone. I feel like I might hear it faintly but it also could be in my brain at this point. I did notice they didnt wrap as much of the ac lines as they did yours. Going to go to the store tomorrow and wrap the little bit thats left.

Still sound good to you? Mine is still great. No more sound.

Yup! Sound is still gone. I no longer have thoughts of getting rid of the truck while on teams calls, or with the radio volume low. So glad a solution was found.

Thanks to @andymacks for sharing and kudos to the tech who found the source of the problem. That noise has bothered me since owning this vehicle and I knew that turning off the A/C eliminated it.
I wrapped only the low pressure side from the compressor to the firewall with 3/4” heater hose and the noise is completely gone, without a doubt.

Has anyone had this fixed by Ford, meaning Ford paid for the repair?

My dealership is willing to attempt this fix but in order to get paid by Ford for the work, they need evidence (VIN#) of a vehicle this was already completed on.

They've called Ford Hotline and checked active TSB's and haven't been able to locate the solution that Andy documented previously.

If anyone has had this work paid for by Ford and wouldn't mind sharing their VIN, please PM me.

THANK YOU!
