Good morning everyone. I was backing up with my head out the window (because who needs backup cameras) and heard a ticking noise. I removed the hubcaps & made sure all rocks were remove from the tread. Can only hear it at low speeds then the engine noise takes over. The truck has 6 months of warranty work left so if there's anything wrong with the front end its covered. I honestly have no clue what I'm looking for so If you guys see anything out of the ordinary let me know please!

I have just noticed a similar noise. I first heard it a few days ago after I changed the oil, so I wrote it off thinking “I guess my truck joined the infamous typewriter noise crew”.

I’ve had to use my 4x4 ESOF quite a few times the past month or so, and didn’t have any issues with it. The previous owner had a vacuum seal, I believe it was, replaced under warranty.

Is there something I should be looking for with the ESOF, or not be concerned and accept my fate with the typewriter noise?
