Bet you money u-joints.

the ar-15.com boys are getting in trouble over there...

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.
In addtion to that, I need a whole new rear end. Pinon is whining on accel/decel between 50-60.
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.

Oh round trip thats potentially $2000K (what the service writer said)
I bought the truck when they ran the 'buy it this month and get a free 5/yr 100K powertrain warranty'.
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.

LOL 1 of my boys works at volvo they are craaap.
