Any Mechanics?
-
@s-a-m I had my mechanic check the wheel bearing and he said it was perfectly fine, he was tearing his hair out trying to figure it out.
Jonathon I’m with s.a.m I still say it’s the wheel bearing. I checked mine when it started making noise and it had no play in it. Two months later it was about to fall off.
-
Okay, I will call him today to confirm. I have started to occasionally hear it when going straight now, not all the time but occasionally.
-
If you do a slight weave side to side going down the road (carefully)!you will hear it one way not so much the other.
-
@s-a-m Yup that does happen. Okay, thanks guys I called my mechanic yesterday and asked him to call me and I’ll talk tohim again about the wheel bearing.

YooperDog I’ve owned several early 70’s Ford 150’s and 250’s…loved them. Most were bought for around $500. I just picked up a 92’ 250 with a 460 for $500! I’ve made a few hauls to the landfill in the meantime so IMO it’s already paid for itself. It’s still running on the same tank of gas the previous owner provided but as few miles as I’ve put on this rig it’s obvious that it has a drinking problem. That said, anytime I leave the mechanic with a bill for $500 I feel like I dodged a bullet. For that money I’d say fix the things that need fixed anyway and roll the dice that it solves your problem.

@s-a-m None, the mechanic said he checked wheel bearing and there is no problem with that. We replaced a stuck brake caliper a few months ago but that wasn’t it. He said it still needs the master cylinder replaced. It is happening now occasionally when I am driving straight but it seems to stop when I accelerate or brake so I am wondering if it isn’t something that has come loose and is just flapping. I tried to get my wife to agree to let me drive over here so she could check but in her typical selfish fashion she said no!

If your truck is a 4x4, have you checked the U-joints?
-
It is a 4x4 and no…I will look up how to check that, thank you!

SausageKingOfIdaho lol. I love my job and the owners treat me well but I haven’t touched the 460 in weeks…my Escape treats me far better. Unfortunately it’s going into the shop in a few days so I’ll be feeding the beast until my daily driver is back in action. I’m counting the days until weather permits driving the old Buick.

You could have a bad brake line going to the caliper.
Sometimes the the rubber brake line going to the caliper will start collapsing.
Which will cause the caliper to lock up or to have spongy brakes.
The spongy brakes is the line actually growing when the pressure is being applied through the line.
I have had happened on a couple of different rigs. -

Buddy took his escape to the dealer and they bought it back for like $2000 some recall if I remember right
