ALERT!!
I have a 1990 F250HD4x4 w/ Dana50 front TTB.
I was under it checking everything out tonight and noticed something awfully sickening. Both the passenger and drive side TTB brackets to the engine crossmember had Extremely loose bolt some had backed out half the length and one bolt was sheered off and the bracket sitting down 1/2 and inch, AND I JUST GOT BACK FROM A TRIP TO COLORADO.
This is VERY scary to think what would have happened if they would have let go.
This truck has never been abused and I have been driving the truck since it was new although just have owned it for 4 months now.
Also the motor mount bolts were it goes onto the block/ one on the passenger side was missing.
All this seems very strange too me and am considering going to Ford and talking this over with them because if there ever was a safety recall this WOULD be it for sure.
Also because I cannot get the bolt out of the front ttb arm because the other one is missing can someone please tell me if they know what bolts were used looks like they were just 2 or 21/2 inches long but what size were they and what thread also are they grade 8??
thanks,
Joel Thomas
