Thank You Very Much
Chris
It's a common problem with the Ford modular engines. You can pull it out and try to clean it, or I think Autozone sells an aftermarket replacement for $~75. The IAC fault doesn't always report an error code that can be read with scanner.
If it's not the IAC, you can also check that the Mass Airflow sensor (MAF), and the throttle position sensor (TPS) are both working properly. They usually throw a code. Also check all the vaccuum lines for leaks - especially the few that go through the firewall - they tend to get brittle where they go penetrate the firewall - the leaks are sometimes hard to find
Thanks!
I had it in to the dealer for the headliner rattle. As you said it is very annoying. It even rattles just closing the door firmly. The dealer told me there were some sort of spacer blocks between the roof and the headliner that they managed to "shim up" with tape or something without having to remove the entire headliner. Im not sure I believe that but whatever they did seemed to solve the problem for a couple of months, but now it is coming back.
Have you had any luck with either of the problems? The clunking in the rear end or tranny has me the most concerned. I'll take it in to have the dealer look at that in the near future.
Also, have you experienced a constant motor tick? It sounds like a lifter wrap from the old days..Since it started to get cold out, it is more noticable. It does not go away once the engine warms up.
I just turned 5k miles..I hope this is not a sign of things to come...Btw, I have an '05 S/CREW 4x4 King Ranch with all the toys including the 3.73 limited slip & trailer tow.
'05 SCREW 4X4 XLT and I also have the 3.73 rear and tow pkg.
it pulls to the left even on a flat even highway.
1st trip to the shop they balanced and rotated the tires,
measured the axles, checked hub run out and said its
"much better".
Sorry but much better and fixed are two different things
in my book.
It came back worse than before and is back in the shop
as we speak.
So it was there 2 days last week and today makes it
3 days this week so far.
I did make them give me a rental this time :-).
So i cant complain too much yet, i have a 05 f150
Quad cab to drive :-).
Waiting for reply from dealer and Ford Motor Co..
Is there an "over pressure" or some type of valve in front of the transmission which would allow this to happen. I'm almost afraid to drive the truck now. Can anyone tell me what is going on.
Thank you.
They replaced the drive shaft and said its a little better,
in reallity its worse.
I have to wait 4 weeks for them to get 2 new tires in,
supposebly only one place that makes these tires and
there backlogged.
Meanwhile I have to drive the truck and put up with
the vibrations. :mad: :mad:
Does anyone know how widespread this problem is with
the 2005?
Thanks
Mongo-
I'm not sure on the particulars for 4wd front end. I assuming you've got to remove the front hub and bearing assemblies before you can remove the rotor. Pick up a Haynes or similar manual for your truck to see the details for a brake job.
Are you planning on replacing or just cleaning and repacking the wheel bearings?
As for the oil level, there's only one way to be sure, and that's to drain the existing oil and refill with exactly the specified amount. Then check the dipstick to see, and if necessary mark, the level at which that amount rises to.
Has anyone had their dealer acknowledge the clunk problem and say that Ford has issued a "dealer advisory" or anything?
I haven't taken my '05 SCREW in for the clunk yet but I don't intend to accept "it's normal" or "there is no fix" for an answer. At the very least I plan on demanding an extended drive train warranty. We'll see what happens.
Any idea as to to the problem??
