Something lose

Hi my name is Phil and we have a 2002 Ford E450 Class C motor home with a 7.3 power stroke. every time i stop for a light or just come to a complete stop, when i release the brakes and start out, I can feel something moving or shifting under the motor home, it almost feel like a brake caliper hanging up, We had the brakes checked out at a Ford dealer and they said it was the calipers in the front and they replaced the hoses and clean and lubricated them, I still have the same thing happening.

Stop taking it to a dealer, especially in today's economy where a dealer will throw parts at a problem just to make money. What did replacing two calipers cost you, like $500? Zero chance that was the problem anyway.

Sounds more like something in the driveline. Have you checked all the u-joints for play? Also check out the pinion, see if it moves up and down.

This may be something as simple as a sticky spline in the driveshaft. Pull the driveshaft, lube the splines and make sure the driveshaft is in phase when reassembled.
