Tranny or Diff?
I have a 2004 fx4 f150 with 20000 miles
I noticed lately that when i turn corners from a stop, there is a
shuttering/chattering noise. feels like the rear end is slipping or missing.
also when i accelerate from a stop as well.

same problem
I had the same thing happen four times and every time they replaced the differential fluid.
Finally it was fixed when they followed some special articlet hat said to drain the fluid completely and then re add some special version of the differntial fluid.

Hello All
Dropped the truck off at the local ford dealer.
Sure enough it is the clutch packs. But have to bring the truck back
in 1 week. Have to wait for parts, the dealer should stock many of the clutch
packs. For what i've seen, many fords are experiencing this problem.

Checked out some of the TSB's up top and I'll be damned if I don't have symptoms for at least 2 of them. I've never had to deal with a dealer and TSB's before. Do they usually give you a hard time about them? I mean, they pretty much have to repair the stuff at no cost to the owners right?
My truck is still under warranty too. I'm all spooked out about these now lol.
