| Description of the problem | Have a 2004 fx4 supercrew 4x4. Have two problems. First, the speedo reads 4 to 5 mph fast, have had in shop twice still no fix, was told that was the best they could do. Second, when taking off from dead stop rear end makes 2 slipping clunks, was told from dealer it is the leaf springs so they greased them. Problem went away for a day maybe and is back louder then ever. Only 5000 miles on truck. Wish ford would step up to the plate and take care of some of these "known" problems. *jb |
