| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 f250 super duty that i purchased used with 10k miles on it. I was driving on the intestate between 70 and 75 mph and drove over some rough asphalt in the freeway, it has been there for years and is not to bad. However, my new truck began to shimmy so bad i thought i was going to die that day. I have been a aviation mechanic for 18 years and i am here to tell you something is wrong with these ford trucks. Someone is going to get killed with this problem soon. I had to clean my pants out after this experience. It's going to the dealer monday but from what i reading ford doesn't have a fix for the problem. If anyone from ford wants a scary ride come pay me a visit. *jb |
