Update on my flawless truck :-P

I got my truck back this morning!! Yippy!!

For the vibration, they replaced all 4 tires and road forced balenced the new ones. Also they replaced the driveshaft, but the truck still has a little bit of a vibration now, but not nearly as bad as it was before I took it in.

about 3 weeks ago I had my clutch packs replaced, but the shudder came back, so they replaced the clutch packs yet again, so it's smooth for now at least, but thats 2 sets of clutch packs in 3 weeks!

they replaced both taillights since water was in both, but they don't know how water got in there in the frist place, but there dry now.

Replaced my horn again after it went out, they said it just shorted out, they seen a couple F150's that did that, but this is the second time that has happend to my truck. it works good now.

they don't know how water is getting into my cab yet though. After I go through a car wash, I get a puddle built up underneath my drivers seat that gets my hole carpet wet. They told me they water tested my truck for 2 hours, but couldn't tell where the water is coming in from, so they couldn't do anything.

for the rough idle, they reflased my truck, but the rough idle is still there, it feels like the truck is missing (they told me Ford does not yet have a fix for it)

replaced cooling fan clutch since fan was stuck on high in the mornings and sounded like a rolling idle. Works good now and is silent!

replaced my ashtry since it would get stuck trying to pull it out half way. works good now.

--thats my update for now lol always sometime new

no no no I could never drive a chevy or dodge! I'm getting a new f150 after this settlement with ford is done in about 2 months, but this truck drives me to drink more since it never stops acting up, but I got to keep getting it repaired until they put me into another f150

I do not believe in curses, but Triton, you are cursed with this truck. I hope the next one is flawless. If anyone on this board could be a brand switcher it would be you!!!

At least yours is acting up under warranty. The one (GM) and only (knock on wood) lemon I had, started giving me trouble after the warranty. And there were no lemon laws then.

I love Ford, but if I had this many problems I'd be looking at other brands too.
