Thanks for the Replies, I'm going to take it in this afternoon anyway. Had to have the wiring harness for the alternator and electronic assisted power steering replaced a couple of weeks ago. (it came loose and rubbed a hole in the insulation) They also found an oil leak but couldn't locate it so they added dye to my oil to try and locate it. I'll have them check the drive train over and see if they can find it.

I've had wheel bearing issues before and really don't think that's it. The sound is not constant like a wheel bearing would be. I'm really hoping this is not the beginning of constant issues with this truck. I'm supposed to be driving this thing to NM in about 4 weeks. Would like to get all this taken care of beforehand.

D&B, please keep us updated on the status of your repair. I'm having the same issue with my truck. It has been in the shop twice over the past month, but my mechanic can't seem to fix the issue. TIA.

The actuators in the hubs will make a clicking sound that changes with vehicle speed and throttle position because of the vacuum used.

I am glad I came across this thread. I am having the exact same issue it seems. 2013 F150 5.0 4x4. I only have 40k miles. It is growling when coasting and decelerating. Of course when I took it to the dealership it doesn't make the noise. If you figure out I'd like to know. I'm going to the dealership again next week and would like something to tell them.
