So I drive an F150 and when I am towing and turning, I heard and feel a clicking coming from the rear. I have a 36 foot trailer that weighs about 2000 lbs. No noise is made when I am not towing. Any ideas?

Dude my 2001 Ford Supercrew does the same thing when I turn to the right. After the rear end warms up a little it stops :bangtard: Im thinking its the limited slip, i would hate to replace that. :thumbsdow
Besides....you being gay. :confused:
maybe it's because he's a mexican?

Well, it's a common problem. I know people with an 01 and another with an 02 that makes more noise than my LockRights or NoSlips.

Ive never heard any locker or limited slip louder than a lock right. I have owned 2 before and that were noisy but not that bad.
Im thinking it's the trac-loc for sure, it's a 10.25 axle. It has not made the noise in a while so im thinking about just running it until it gernades.
Also...I thought about draining the diff. fluid and maybe put some Royal Purple 75-90w oil in it with some Friction Additive and see if that helps.
Any suggestions?

I put 75w140 full synthetic in the rear of my pooter truck. It has quieted the NoSlip a lot. It used to sound like breaking roller bearings now it sounds like a LockRight.
