Slight Squeal Sound

[BauerPWR]

I’m new to this forum, but I’ve been reading the posts for the past few months. I recently bought my 24 RR and have put about 2,000 miles on it so far. I’ve been really happy with the truck. Last night, while driving home through traffic, I noticed a slight squealing sound coming from somewhere (maybe the transmission). I checked it out this morning and didn’t hear it again during my drive to work today. However, when I had to fight traffic again tonight, the squealing sound came back. Both times, the transmission temperature was around 207-210 degrees Fahrenheit. When it’s between 170-200 degrees Fahrenheit, I don’t hear any sound. I’m not sure if this is something to worry about or if you’ve had similar experiences. I tried taking a video of it, so hopefully you can hear the sound.

I plan on taking it to the dealership soon anyway since when I purchased the truck (brand new with 8 miles on it), it was missing the tailgate raptor emblem. Also, instead of the badge, the embossed letters in “Ranger” have been filled with plastic lettering which I think looks great (see attached). They have ordered a new badge and I am supposed to pick it up soon so I might just have them check it out at the same time.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Yes, whine is definitely the right word for it. Thank you Ford for reaching out and I’ll be in touch.

The squealing sound is happening to me as well. Attached is a video. Did Ford ever fix it for you?

No, the sound went away on its own. Seems like it can be intermittent at times so it’s hard for Ford to diagnose. Plus I don’t have a ton of confidence in my Ford dealership anyways. Took them literally 3 separate visits to fix a bad taillight sensor. Even though they saw the fault codes on the system, “unless the physically see it themselves” they are not able to address it. Hopefully you have better luck with your noises.
