Hello everyone, I dunno if you all read my previous post about my screeching noise but I'll explain again. When I sift my explorer from Park to Drive in the morning or if the car sits a while there is a screeching noise, and also when I first step on the gas there is a short series of clicks. I have took it back to two different ford dealers and one told me it was a characteristic and the other is telling me it's the drive shaft. They are replacing the drive shaft soon. Can anybody tell me if this sounds like a drive shaft problem? Thanks

Not having heard the problem I don't really know. Screeching noise could be the A/C belt. But the Ford peeps probably wouldn't mistake that for a driveshaft.
Although, flags go up if one dealer says its nothing, and the other wants to replace the driveshaft which is $$$$. I'd say go to a third dealer. Or at the very least, get out of the car while its running and see if the sound is indeed coming from the driveshaft

yeah i figured i'd let them replace the drive shaft and then when they give me the car back ill try to duplicate the noises. Hopefully they won't be there.

well it wasn't the driveshaft so they are going over 20 pages of information to find out what part to replace next
