Vibration / Noise Problem?
I have less than 500 mi on 2002 Ford F150 Supercrew V8 4.6. On way home from dealer noticed vibration at 35-45 mph range, as well as, rattling noise in rear. Dealer has now replaced drive shaft and has a new rear end ordered to replace? anyone else had this type of problem.

vibration/noise. Three dealers two drivelines and one ring and pinion later the 52-60 mph vibe still is with the s-crew.
Have the pinion angle checked.Also,ask the service dept. to try diagnosing the vibration with an electronic digital vibration analyzer with two sensors.This should pinpoint the origin of your vibration.
Good luck!

The last dealer did not check driveline side angle,and claimed that the noise was exhaust resonance. I firmly disagreed and requested an arbitration form.....
I am considering the Dodge Ram 1500 Quad-Cab as a replacement to my Ford.Any opinions or comparisons on that trade?
Will keep you posted on the arbitration.
After 6 months of ownership and qualifying for arbitration as per Ford guidelines. I am now the proud owner of a vibration-free Ford F-150 S-crew, courtesy of Ford's replacement vehicle division.
After qualifying for arbitration, I sent a registered letter to Ford as outlined in my owners manual.
I was pleasantly surprised when I received their response and replacement offer.I accepted.That's it.
I took a 1 hour test drive in the replacement over various terrain and at varying speeds. No vibrations or problems found.
I hope that this might help other owners who have given up on getting their problem resolved.The selling dealer also included a 6 year 75,000 mile warranty for being a loyal customer.
My new truck came with everything I wanted.
Good luck
