Thread is back open.
Up to 135,000 views on that site, on Reddit, 4chan, and numerous forums and absolutely no real response from Ford or Ford Canada (eh?) .... excellent.
A new TSB came out 15Jul stating a replacement of drivelines.Quote:

I never noticed it really, other than chalking it up to tire noise.
So, I get all new driveshaft, U joints, and all new rear end. Yay.....
Driveshaft has the Ujoints in it. Warranty is awesome. You don't want to know how much that would have cost.Quote:

I have a sneaky feeling I'm going to use a lot of it.
As a side note, I'm friends with the tech and he said that the F150 driveline issues seems to be more prevailent
with the ECO's not the v8. He said he's chased a driveline noise for a year on an another ECO and replaced the tranny,
rear end, driveline, and still cant figure it out.
It's owned by ford... The platform was designed by Volvo before Ford bought them, and pretty much all of the car was designed before Ford could fuck it up. Ford made changes to the chassis by changing out some of the aluminum parts for steel (big deal lol). My car was also made in Sweden. So, no, it's really not a Ford. Good try though.Quote:

The Administrator on that forum sounds as bad as Obama! Says AR15 forum members are trolling for justice...what is wrong with that? There used to be a day not so long ago when corporations depended on their reputations for success, now they just hide behind their fine print and disclaimers. Drones killing US citizens, high level racism and corporate apathy for their customers/victims. Personally, I'd rather build a GM truck from parts on Ebay and from a junk yard than be given a new Ford for free...and for the Administrator threatening AR15 forum members like he is a don of the forum mafia, ridiculous! The admin is a shill for the big corporation...Canada eh?
I worked for GM, my brother ran a Ford dealership, Dad's had his own shop for 30 years... Someone will hate whatever it is that you like... One thing I know with *any* kind of vehicle, if you get a shitty one, well... that's the luck, every brand has them. If you get a good one, take care of it, and it will take care of you. Peterson's Offroad gave second place to a Kia Sorrento in the 2005 or some year around then for fucks sake... Take care of your car if you have a good one, and it will do you right.Quote:
