Air Conditioning
Had my 2nd oil change @8200 miles. Ford service guy says shudder at start and hissing noise is normal.
FX4,3.73, SC, w/all the bells and whistle...
Some 1998-2004 F-150 4X4 vehicles with a one piece drive shaft may exhibit a clunking or grunting noise and/or a shudder sensation from the driveline. The condition will typically occur during light to moderate acceleration from a stop and/or braking. This may be caused by the slip yoke not sliding smoothly on the transfer case output shaft splines.
You need to lube the splines with teflon grease part#
D2AZ-19590-A I hope this helps.
