| Description of the problem | 2011 f250,crewcab,diesel, 6 speed auto trans - transmission shudders and knocks, shaking truck ,makes a clunking sound when traveling around38-40 mph as if gears getting stuck in between gears. Concerned that while on road, vehicle may come to a complete stop in traffic.- also truck is a short bed that came with the factory towing package ,fifth wheel /gooseneck set up. As per salesman, truck was ready to tow. Concerned now that the factory hitch is not a sliding hitch which is required on short beds for proper turning and cab clearance. Concerned with trailer hitting cab. Ford literature states that the fifth wheel/gooseneck set up is for long bed pick ups only. Why then was it allowed by ford to be installed at factory on a short bed pickup. *kb |
