One common reason why your Ford F-150 might make a whining noise while accelerating is due to the power steering pump. If the fluid level is too low, it can create a lot of noise. Check and top up the fluid to the recommended level to reduce the noise. Another potential cause of a high-pitched whine or squeak may indicate issues with the pulleys, particularly the idler and accessory pulleys when their bearings are failing. A loose steering belt could also be the culprit, especially when you hear the sound while turning the steering wheel. Tightening the belt should resolve this problem.

The power steering pump in your Ford F150 might make a whining noise when you accelerate, often due to low fluid levels. Make sure to check the fluid level and top it off at the fill line as needed. If the pump fails, it could also be the cause of the noise.
Rear differential racers are showing signs of wear and tear. Lighter materials are not proving to be durable. It's more of an annoyance than a serious concern. The bearings are probably still in good condition.
