| Description of the problem | Drive train vibration thought the cab floor and steering wheel of vehicle. After numerous attempts to repair and 6 new tires, driveshaft and new clutch locking plates. New ring and pinion gear the problem still is there. The vibration progressively gets worse after long trips. Also there is a clunk in the drive line on acceleration and a severe to moderate shudder . Ford says that this is normal for the new body style trucks which is totally false. Ford seems to set their standard and customer satisfaction is set aside. The live with it attitude will not be tolerated. I am going through the bbb arbritration process and hopefully the arbritrator will see the history of this problem. Anyone with similar problems should e-mail me at glennlinokc@yahoo. Com *jb |
