Driveshaft "slop"
Been having a very light vibration when cruising at speed as well as on some lower speed shifts and finally crawled under the truck today to check for drivetrain play. Other than the amazingly soft and sloppy transmission mount I noticed a TON of play in the driveshaft transmission yolk. Didn't feel like the u-joint but actually the tailshaft yolk. Dealer said on the phone they have seen this on a few of the newer trucks and it *should* be covered under the power train warranty. Anybody else run into this? BTW, I have the subercab with the 1 piece aluminum driveshaft.

Had this same problem on my 2011 supercab. It spent many weeks at the dealer but never got the issue resolved. Traded for 2012 crewcab and have not had the vibration problem again. Some people have replace the transmission mount with on from the Raptor and it has seemed to resolve the problem.

I was told my non-continuous vibration as well as the slight shudder during some shifts was a result of my "non-stock sized tires." Those would be the 235/80r17 load E tires it had when purchased with 38k from another ford dealer. I will send you a PM shortly.
