Hi Dave.
You may find that the noise is actually caused by the brake pads
dragging on the brake rotors. In most cases where this is a problem I
have found that the broadcast radio antenna has a poor ground at the
fender mount. This problem seems to be most prevalent in the Ford F
series trucks. Have your boss see if the interference changes while
stepping on the brake pedal lightly. Also make sure that the locking
nut on the antenna is tight.
Then again, what do I know?
