My answer for the vibration issues

There should be a nationwide computer networking system whereby all dealers can discuss what they've done to the trucks that people have brought in, what the symptoms were, and what has worked and not worked for these problems. It seems in these threads that every dealer has their own idea of how to fix things, and a lot of fruitless labor is being performed because of it. If there was this system, dealers might be able to narrow it down to the things that are working and start out trying that first. The dealers need to stop waiting on Ford to fix it. It's not happening.

I guess that makes too much sense?

Yup, it does. But it would be much harder for the dealer to say, "It's normal."

Heck, they could just hang out here. After all, this is where I got the information (TSB) to provide my dealer. They checked with all of Ford's info and even the tech hot-line and didn't come up with anything. It didn't totally solve my vibration concern, but thanks FTE.

Thumbs up Answer To Your Front End Vibration Problems

Hi guys....

I think I have found the REAL reason why most all of you are experiencing front end vibrations at just below 60 MPH up to and including just above 60 MPH.

I am gathering my facts this evening, and will post my detailed explanation tomorrow morning in this thread.....

Please stay tuned!

Fred

SORRY for the delay in getting back with my answer......

I have been overwhelmed with our corporate and personal tax returns, a son getting ready to graduate from military school, sytem start-up deadlines, quotations, and new work. I hope you all wil forgive me?!

I "hope" to post some information by the weekend.

Of course, I (we) will.

BTW, met with the dealer's service manager today. We drove my truck, he confirmed that there's a noticable shake.

From first impressions, I am encouraged that my problem will (at least) be addressed.
