FORD F150 5.4 supercrew whinning/whistling under cold temperatures

My 2006 FORD F150 5.4 supercrew whinning/whistling under cold temperatures (probably the alternator bearings because i've changed the serpentine belt last week and the noise is still there)

My ford has the problem!!! Did changing the alternator fix the problem??

I have the same frickin noise in my 04' F-150 Lariat! Did you find out what was the problem or does anyone else know what that is?

[frankyflo]

@dbn0922 I haven't found out exactly what causing this but some people i know told me it was probably the alternator rear bearing. They said it's a common problem with all F150 that have some wear. :o(

My truck does that exact noise! Please if you have fixed it could you tell me what it was? Thanks a bunch!

My 2008 V6 does it, only when cold...

[glaurenc]

it is the alternator bearing. It is no big deal. Change it only if you cant stand the noise at the rpms at real cold temps. My 2004 f150 lariat has been doing that since new and now has 130k miles. really not an issue
