NO MORE VIBRATIONS AND NO MORE NOISE FROM THE REAR END AT LAST.
They also reprogramed the computer, mileage is worse but its much smoother to drive (drive shaft or Computer?). In my appeal to the DSB is listed several things.
The DSB made their decision!!!!
This is a direct quote from the DSB "After careful consideration of this information and the relevant state law, the Board determined the rear end noise, vibration, engine noise, brake dust, and the fuel economy concerns do not represent substantial nonconformities. Therefore, the Board concluded no further action was necessary and the request for further repair was denied." To my knowledge they did not now Ford had already replace the rear end and mounts and They seemed to have forgotten Ford advertised 19 MPG highway, and my complaint was scored front rotors and excessive brake dust.
They also stated the amount of days I was without a vehicle was not great enough, forgetting that I was told to wait 3 months for a fix. I live in a rural area and telephones are not available and cell phone coverages are spotty to non exstistant so when I had to travel I drove my other car rather than risk a failure on the road. and My wife of 50 years refused to go with me in a truck that might leave us stranded. GOOD LUCK --I GOT SHAFTED TOO.
While on a test drive today in a FX4 150 Crew I punched the accelerator a little and the truck stumbled. Checked gear selection and did it again the vehicle stumbled. Could have been interesting during rush hour.
I like the layout of the cabs though.
The Attorney Generals office can be contacted through the internet, (it is a simple process). The Dispute Settlement Board is not helping claims for vibrations. WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE OUR COMPLAINTS BE HEARD!!!!!!!!!!
I got out of the truck and went back into the house. About a minute later I felt my house literally shake. I turned around and my truck was gone. Thinking someone had stolen it, I ran outside to see if I could see which way it went, only to notice that my shed was torn wide-open. I ran around the corner to find my pickup planted into the neighbors house, engine still running and the tires spinning. I jumped into the truck and got it shut off. The odd thing about this situation is the truck was sitting there spinning with the stick still in neutral. I realized this after I had turned the truck off and looked down to see it was in neutral. I won't even mention the damage that was caused to the truck or the neighbors house (makes me cringe every time). Anyway, once we moved the truck, I had gotten in and started it, again in neutral. This time the truck surged forward right away. I also climbed under the truck and noticed that the transmission was saturated in engine oil. The oil was not fresh because there was dirt and other debree mixed in it. Well, to get to the point, I called the insurance agency about it and told them what happened and had my truck towed to the repair shop but it has been sitting there for two weeks and no repairs made. The insurance agency is doing an investigation into this case because they think I am not being honest with what happened. My question is, has anyone ever heard of this happening before? I am still dumbfounded about it and would like some feedback.
I started to wonder since the FX-4 has a different spring/shock package if it was causing the tire wear/vibration problem but now see a Lariat in the mix, but don't know what drive-line. I'm just as concerned as all of you, but the more detail we give...the more maybe we can see a trend so we can address Ford and even help them identify where the problem lies and how to fix it.
I called the dealership to schedule a service. They said they would look at my truck, but it probably has nothing wrong with it. My service advisor stated that todays trucks are more sensitive than older vehicles and the vibration is normal.
Oh, please don't SHOUT! Just turn off the 'Caps Lock'.

Looking to buy a 2000 F-350 C/C Lariat 7.3 for 24,800.00. Trying to find out if anyone out there has anthing to say about this vehicle? Love ford vehicles, but from what i have read so far it seems this year has had problems with brake rotars! Is this an Isolted problem? Is there anything else I should be aware of? If you are a Ford Hater please do not respond to this. Am planning on possibly purchasing this vehicle on Monday. Need something to tow my 29ft Trailer here in Alaska. Thanks for all Info I can get.
Also, PLEASE turn off the CAPS lock. All caps is more difficult to read and is generally considered to be yelling online.

2: If you want to bolt on more power, add a supercharger, turbo, or a nitrous oxide system (NOS). A throttle body spacer or different air intake would cost the vehicle manufacturer pennies to add. If they gave the results promised, don't you think they'd fit them?
3: Can't buy and sell stuff here.
4: As has been noted, please stop SHOUTING!!!!!!
Stop by the chat tonight if you get a chance! Always nice to see new faces in the chat and we're not all that topic guided at the chats. EVERYTHING and anything comes up, pickups included!
