I have a 05 f150 with 5.4l 109,000k miles on it. When the rpms get around 1000 to 1050, I'm getting somewhat of a grinding maybe rubbing noise. It makes the noise at that rpm no matter what speed I'm going. Anybody else had this problem? The noise sounds like its coming under the drivers side wheel well.

 

Just answer me this question. When you get oil changes done. Do you get aftermarket oil filters put on.

 

Yes I do.

 

Unfortunately, there is a lot of aftermarket junk out there, imported, and is of lesser quality. We are paying the price for good quality and buying junk. If you get the opportunity check where your filters are made and that should answer a lot of your questions.

 

Noises travel sometimes and something like a worn tensioner pulley bearing can produce a squealing noise. Timing chain tensioners are also in that noise group.
Sometimes in spite of your best efforts things wear and problems come around. Have you had anyone check for the source of the noise?

 

Thank you for the information, I have had it checked and they can't find anything wrong with it.
