Tighten the belt!

 

lol surprised yours don't squeak. That's nasty

 

Do you have ac? Pump can be going bad.
Your alt can also be locking up under load randomly. Your blower motor will pull the most amps after startup.

 

Mud solves all squeeks. Lol

 

Try to locate the longest stretch of belt between two pulley's and try turning it. Typically it should not exceed 90* (degrees). If its does it is to loose and can make noise. If you have never replaced the belt and its not tight, it has stretched a noticeable amount and is about time to replace it.
edit: that is what has worked for me. You can pick up a belt tension gauge and look up the specification to make sure its tight enough.

 

No belt for the compressor? I haven't spent much time under the hood of any cars. Sorry for being dumb! Will do. How tight do I want it to be?

 

I have AC but it's been used like one time and it didn't give me any issues. Makes sense. I'll take a look tomorrow when it's not so dark outside.

Edit: I really need to refresh threads before I reply..

Guessing salad's right, as both times it's happened have been on rainy days.

 

Anyone know to disable the PATS on a 2006 F150? I know I know. Off topic. Blah blah blah. Yes or no? It got activated yet he doesn't have the key fob or an alarm.

 

Try disconnecting the battery, try to turn the lights on to discharge all energy stored in system. Let sit overnight to drain capacitors in ECU. Reconnect battery. Usually it works, if not then you gotta take to dealer. The PATS are integrated into the ECU on a lot of newer cars/trucks so draining the ECU might help. Good luck.

 

I told him. We will see

 

Check your axle shaft u joints for play too..

 

 

I was trying to fix the passenger door droop today (of about 1/16-1/8 inch), which annoys the crap out of me.

But my two T40 bits were too long (when attached to a ratchet) to get in there (the outside came loose just fine). I need to get all 6 screws loose to properly position the door.

So ...does someone make something like a right-angle T40 wrench ...or something? Is there a special T40 door tool?

 

Not that I'm aware of... you can still do it though, just be real careful and soak the bolts in PB blaster first... I was worried about the same thing when I was doing my door hinges after the top one divorced itself from the body... I thought sure I was going to hollow out the head, but the PB really helped a lot.

 

If there was I don't think everyone would be making their own for the oil filter adapters
