Break noise

[RamBamJam]

So I live in the south, and as of lately my truck has been making a horrible noise when applying my breaks in the morning before leaving to work. The truck sits on a concrete slab away from any “real moisture” but when backing up to the road the truck begins to make a gridding noise. Kinda like.... when you breaks have no padding. After driving it the noise goes away but it’s horrible right before take off. Anyone else had this happen? Any advise before taking the truck to the dealership.

I have the same problem every morning especially when it humid but still most of the time. Now when I hold my foot on the break and turn the wheel it make a loud noise as well . I need to take it in . Did you take it in to the dealer yet ?

Kind of a common complaint in this forum, mostly when backing the vehicle and especially with early build 2019s.

Shorty after about 19,000 miles when the weather was cold and there was a lot of humidity in the air, first time backing produced a howl like that of a freight train stopping. If it had rained over night the howling could actually wake my neighbors.

Took it to the dealer where the tech immediately recognized the problem and ordered new rotors and pads for the rear. After replacement all was quiet for about 16,000 miles when the noise came back under the same circumstances. Since the 36,000 mile warranty on my truck has expired I've elected to not do anything about it since it only occurs the first time the vehicle is backed from a cold start in a wet environment. Over time I've found that the noise has decreased considerably anyways.

Now I only have the noise after over night rain at a much reduced volume. Besides, my status for waking my neighbors has been replaced by another neighbor who's brand new F-150 makes a very loud rattle at each and every start (transmission problem).

My dealer couldn't reproduce the problem when I took it in under warranty. Now it is outside of warranty. I wish I would have known about this TSB. Of course, my dealer should have known about it, IMO.

It could be that they reacted to how you described the symptom and how it was worded on the work order. The service department will get a warranty claim kicked back if the problem description doesn't match the resolution. In my case when I described the symptom (loud howl when backing only) they didn't hesitate on resolving the issue even though it couldn't be replicated when I took in in.

Then again, there's good dealer service and not so good dealer service.

There was someone who capture this howl sound in a much earlier thread. Search back and I think you find it.

Does your noise sound anything like this? This was after backing up out of the driveway in the morning and putting it in D with the foot on the brakes while turning the wheel.

Thats NOT the howl noise. you guys are experiencing something else, The brake howl is exactly like it sounds a loud howl. Your problem seems to be in the steering.

I will be addressing, I am just making a long list of things so I can hopefully get it all done in one shot

My truck does this exact thing each morning. I bet the dealer won't apply this TSB though because my build Faye is June 2019 and this applies to trucks built before September 24 2018. Bummer. I wonder what's different with trucks built after Sept 24.
