I would suspect a Power Steering pump problem. Check the P/S fluid level and add as necessary. If it is full the pump is more than likely failing.
First thing that comes to mind is the power steering pump. Ford is famous for whining power steering pumps. The noise should be present whenever the truck is running, but more pronounced when dry steering or increase in rpm.
the bearings are probally giving out.
Normally a whining noise in the back end means the differential is shot
What kind of howling? Or is it a whining? Where does it sound like it's coming from.
Loud, whining, growling sound. Rear end jerks at random if bearings are locking up.
If your stickshift makes a whining sound in gears, grinds when you are trying to put it into gear or if it slips out of gear you know it is going out.
if the sound starts when you turn the key it is most likely the fuel pump, no worries If you're at 50,000 - 60,000 miles or more, could be your rear. Common problem ford won't own up to.
this is normal and nothing to worry about. Almost all vehicles make a whining noise in reverse Ford Mondeo's sound the same reversing as they do going forwards no whining also VW Passatt i think the Golf's are the same also maybe modern technology has improved this. probably bad enough listening to your wife whining you can do without your car doing it.
where is the VIN located on a 1937 ford pickup
need to know the year That sounds like it could be a wheel bearing or main axle bearing.
Yes, it sure can.
Probably your alternater on its way out.
