| Description of the problem | I have an 2004 ford f-150 supercab 4x4. A few days after i bought it, it developed a slipping / shuddering problem in the rear end when you started from a stop and while turning. Sunstate ford said that the slip yoke had no lubrication. So they lubed it. Within 2 days the problem re-occurred. The shuddering happens hot or cold but becomes worse the more the truck is driven. When i brought it back to sunstate ford to let them try to fix it again, they say the problem is normal. I owned alot of trucks in my life and not 1 of them did this. From talking to one of the service employees i learned that there have been many complaints about this problem. Additional info: truck has 4. 6l engine, automatic transmission, and a 3. 73 limited slip rear axle. *ak |
