I am just quoting what the dealer said and take a look, Ford will sell factory equiped trucks but NOT on their diesels.

I dont mean to start anomosity. I love my Powerstroke. I have to stick with what i have experienced. Chances are, the guys on the line simply didnt add enough grease. Perhaps the tech was in a bad mood that day and hated his employer. Fact is I bought my 04 new because of its strength and reliability. Super Duty in every facet. Right?

Yeah, I've personally only changed them once and went with the moogs, I recently had the oasis report ran on it and saw that the ball joints were already done once before I had the truck

With the Dana 44 originally in mine, ball joints were on the yearly replacement schedule.
With the 60 under it now, going on the third year plowing and still tight.
Since I am in the dirt moving business, moving snow came naturally.
Besides it keeps the money coming my way when I can't see the dirt.
