THANKS
What was this unnamed aftermarket device?
Thanks

You can change a dual-rear to a single-rear. There will be some minor bodywork necessary where the rear fender extension attaches to the pickup box sheetmetal, and you'll need to remove the hub extensions and clip the dually fender marker light wiring. Removing the hub extensions will also require getting normal offset wheels. Far easier than the other wauyy around.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM ENTITLED TO, IT SEEMS THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUNNAROUND. THE THRUCK IS A 2003 SUPER CREW WITH 40K.
THEY WANT TO REBUILD THE MOTOR, I AM FURIOUS AND WANT A NEW MOTOR INSTALLED.
PLEASE ADVISE.

Ford F150 has tire problem, or the other mechanic said that the Stering wheel is to sensitive to its new frame (absurd) I did not pay 40 000 for the truck with stering wheel vibration and I'm planing on getting an engeener to solve this
The problem goes away and reappears. Ran fine for the first day out of the shop. Then for 3 or 4 days, I get a violent crash thud especially going into 2nd, and 3rd, and less noticeable in higher gears. Today I drove it to the dealer to show them, and it's shifting beatifully again.
When it's bad, you would think that someone has ran into the truck, and your neck snaps back!
Is there something that can "fall" into and out of proper alignment like that? :confuse:
Thanks for any ideas....
Any info would be appreciated...
Other problems I have had with this truck are:
1. Rear axle grinding while in reverse on a cold start up.
2. Brake wheel vibration. 7 times repaired. I only have 37,000 miles on this truck! IT IS A NIGHTMARE.
3. Flat acceleration.
4. Engine hesitation.
5. AC issues.
6. Unknown source of vibration while driving, not braking. Think it might be the drive train.
7. Hard transmission shifts at random.
Has anyone either gotten their truck replaced by Ford via Lemon Law or a total fix on the brakes?
I still think that it has to do with the lack of a fan motor for the A/C. Pepboy sells an aftermarket kit to install and I may try it. The dealer says that there is nothing wrong and we are just having a bad summer with hotter temperatures, they are full of ^^&*^&*.
All this new car era that we old timers are experimenting is bad because we have very limited control of our cars, just like computers are restricted in big corporations by IT. Car manufacturers and insurance companies are working together not just to do safer vehicles but to control what we can do with them like having computers on board so they can limit the speed we can go etc. Now insurance companies are reading the black box (in board computer) so they can see if were going over the speed limit at the time of an accident so the can deny our claim, very good info if we use it right but Ford is limiting the engine full potential my 5.3 engine feels like a 6 cylinder. Good luck and pls post if you find the fix.
Well I see there are many of us in the same boat. My new 5/2005 F-150 Super Cab shaked violently between 60 to 70 MPH. I have had 4 service visits. They have replaced the tires three times, the rims, the rotors, installed the damper kit, screwed with the column (made it rattle and ball bearings fell out), and have still not got rid of it. The dealer wanted to swap out the truck but wanted addistional $1000 to do so. I test drove a direct replacement and it jerked violently from 40 MPH up to 70 MPH. I drove a second one and it jerked from 60 to 70 MPH. This model is making lemonade all over America. I have filed for the Lemon Law the dealers not only know of the problem but don't give a crap. Lemon Law it..... :lemon:
