couple questions

OK I have acouplequestions. First,what the heck is a "TSB"?Just curious. SecondlyI have seen some questions about "shudder" and light takeoff and braking but no real answers. I have a 2003 Ranger XLT 4x4 with 6000 miles on it and it has this problem. Also my rear suspension creaks all the timewhen ever the suspension is operating (up or down). Does anyone know of a poly bushing kit? And where I can pic one up?

Thanks,
John

titles are free, full text, you have to pay. Try Alldata, I think its about $20 for a years access per vehicle.

Since your truck is new why not let the dealer fix any issues?

wild guess on surelly09's last question...but Ford takes the VIN to determine TSB while alldata doesn't.
