Any issues with removing the black plastic cover?
I sprayed mine two weeks before the tsb came out so they couldn’t replace the hinges or whatever they’re doing for the tsb. If I could do it all over again I would have waited and left the ticking there so they could confirm and fix it.Yeah, I’m debating whether to spray the lithium in there or hold off so my dealership can confirm the tick noise for the TSB. I’d rather not go through the TSB replacement process, but I also don’t want to temporarily mask an ongoing issue with the tailgate only to have it rear its head later. I’m weighing the options …
I used the normal WD40 but I'll get the lithium one and give a spray this weekend on the areas posted by @los7883.Did you use regular WD-40 or the white lithium version? You want to use the lithium. And go absolutely ape shit with it in there. I posted pics in this thread of all the locations I could find, and then after that I emptied half the bottle in every direction I could. Still blissfully noise free now.
And in case you aren’t aware, there is now a TSB for this tick noise from the tailgate. The dealer will replace if you want to go that direction.
Oh wow. That’s depressing that the new tailgate is worse than the original? Very frustrating.So I had rattle going on 4 months. Went to numerous fords until TSB for tailgate replacement came out. Tailgate got replaced and folks, it’s louder than ever. I’m going insane. Idk what to do anymore, I’ve tried everything.
Hi there. Can you send us your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this for you.So I had rattle going on 4 months. Went to numerous fords until TSB for tailgate replacement came out.

Been down this road pal, you guys are useless as a used paper strawHi there. Can you send us your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this for you.
To anyone who added the rough country tailgate reinforcement and is still experiencing a rattle. Make sure you are torquing all bolts to the correct spec, especially the supplied allen bolts that fasten the hinges. This has fixed my pop/rattle over bumps thus far. I will keep you posted on if this issue comes back, but so far so good.
I agree. I did the whole send us your info stuff. A rep called, left a message and never answered when I’d call back. Left messages and still no return call. It’s like they call once just to check a box and then they forget about you.Been down this road pal, you guys are useless as a used paper straw
Mine started after I installed the Hammer bracket. I noticed it after I was on a REALLY rough trail in Big Bend.Update…dealer still has it, initially claimed hey didn’t hear it so I rode with the service manager, they now hear it and agree it’s not normal and shouldn’t be there.
left it with them and they call me Friday, new tailgate coming.
my question to others who have had their tailgate replaced.
did anyone buy a tailgate support for the new tailgate and if so did the noise still comeback?
thanks!
Same. They had my truck for over a month, replaced the entire tailgate and it’s somehow even worse. Starting to think this just isn’t worth what I paid for it. I’m going to try and lube the seals like I read in another thread to see if that works.So I had rattle going on 4 months. Went to numerous fords until TSB for tailgate replacement came out.
