Subject: creaks, moans and groans
From: Kirk Werner Werner.org>



I checked on the web site and couldn't find the discussion I seem to recall
from some time back about this, so I'll throw it out for consideration
again.

I have a '00 F350 CC 4x4. In the past couple months I've noticed a big
increase in the suspension noise. I have no doubt that the colder weather
has a role in this. Going over any uneven surface, or even just driving on a
gravel road the entire truck seems to creak and groan. Without knowing
exactly how the body is attached to the frame, I would say that it sounds
like bushings at those anchor points are the culprit.  Is there a TSB for
this? I looked but did not find one. This isn't the popping sounds under the

cab which one TSB describes, but an overall suspension/frame noise. Is there
something I can lubricate myself, or that teh dealer can do when it's in for
it's next checkup?

Thanks for any input.

Kirk

Thanks for all the ideas with my clutch that wouldn't disengage and allow
me to shift (and eventually wouldn't allow me to start the truck)  I have yet
to replace the master clutch cylinder, but I have pushed it off for a while.
Here is what I found when I got under there.  There is a small bushing that
holds the pedal link to the clutch master cylinder - stupid little plast thing.
Well, it was beyond shot - how it was working at all is amazing - and the
end of the link has been damaged some (the "clunk" sound I was hearing)
Unfortunately I tore it appart on a Saturday and discovered that it was a
dealer part  :(   So on Monday I went an paid my $6 for the plastic and put
it in place.  It's almost like driving another truck, but I think I still might end
up replacing that cyliner as when I shift I can definately feel it going
between gears and it needs a firm pressure.  I hope that I didn't damage ....
