This is sort of an update/continuation for the thread "Whistling Noise".

After 1800km my truck began making a whirring/chirping noise between 35km/h and lower, after about 25 minutes of driving on the highway. This noise isn't terribly loud inside the cab, especially with the windows up. The dealership checked it out and found the noise coming from the propeller shaft. They replaced it and the issue was resolved for about another 2000km. The noise came back almost identical to the first.

The truck is back at the dealership again today. This time around, they plan to take a closer look and involve Ford Engineering. It seems to me like this is either a design flaw or a poorly manufactured component from whomever was contracted to make it.

The dealership essentially told me that they will continually replace this part until eventually a new part comes out OR until the part stops having this problem.

I just wanted to share this information for anyone who is experiencing this problem or anyone who maybe hasn't noticed it yet.

I have a noise, since new, that I always figured was the transfer case or something in the driveline (mid-truck) spinning. It almost sounds like tire noise, and only happens when the the driveline is loaded. You cant hear it with the windows up. I wonder if that is perhaps driveshaft (prop shaft) cross bearing noise or something. I will have to ask the dealer to take a look whenever I get it in for an unrelated recall notice I just received. Anyone else hearing this at low to medium speeds? It sounds like gearbox lash/rattle almost. But its very subtle and I sort of thought it might just be normal.
