chirping

Happy 2020 All'y'all! Sudden circumstances & I'm moving (solo) again: To the 'big city'; 1-load-at-a-time ('tired bones'/weak heart/failing kidneys/'lost' 2nd-wind.) I can hear my camshaft synchronizer chirping more-and-more (2000 XLS, 6-OHV, 145k); especially at-idle. I have a Scan Gauge II...

I'm always listening for sounds I shouldn't be hearing. First time I traveled in months at highway speeds using cruise control. Windows up; A/C on low; recent oil change/tire rotation. While in cruise-control at 70, a faint 'chattering' like a cricket-or-two behind my speedometer gauge/inside...

Has anyone has experience with there being a noise coming somewhere inside the dash after turning the engine off. It's hard to explain but It kinda sounds kind like a boiling noise with some chirping noises mixed in and last 5-10 minutes after turning the engine off. Perhaps it's from running...

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer V8 and last night all of a sudden it started making a god awful noise and a strong burning rubber smell as well where the pulley system is. I've read other posts but still not sure if its replace both idler pulleys or just one and to replace alternator or not. And...

I have a 1999 Explorer AWD 5.0. Every once in awhile it would make a chirp noise when driving. About two weeks ago a loud squealing started and the CEL came on. Took it to a shop, had water pump, clutch fan and idler pulley replaced. Mechanic said that the noise was still present so he rev'd it...

Hi there, I've done some digging through the forums and Google, but I think I've found myself more confused than enlightened. Here's my situation, I hope someone can help. I have one of those odd models where Ford put a '92 engine in a '93 body (learned about this when I kept buying the...

Hey, I need some help please! I need some definate procedures for replacing the motor mounts on a '99 Mountaineer, 5.0, AWD. In studying the situation, the upper nuts are easily accessed by removing the mud/rain guard flaps from the fenderwells. But I still gotta figure out the best way to...

On a 1999 Merc Mountaineer, 5.0, 4R70W trans. I am getting a short chirp sound when shifting into Reverse or Drive. Also hearing it a bit when going into Neutral. I am suspecting it's a worn band as it tightens and releases. Can anyone confirm this or provide other possibilities to check...

I've been hearing the CPS chirping noise in my 95 Ex for a few months now, and I have a few questions about it. 1. What is the chirping noise coming from? Is it from inside the little sensor itself, or does it have to do with the camshaft synchronizer? Basically, which one do I *need* to...

I know what you're thinking already. This is some noob who thinks his belt is squeaking when really one of his components is. That's not it, though. Without the belt, the noise disappears. The full story: a couple months ago, the belt tensioner went bad really fast on my '97 V8 AWD Ex. I...
