Its been awhile since I have been on here. But anyways, does anyone have a copy of the newest TSB for the driveline vibration? The last one I had was dated May 2007 (07-10-8)


With my warranty about to expire I was considering taking my truck in for the driveline vibration and was curious to see what kind of hack job the dealer might do to repair my truck, or wether I should just live with the slight vibration knowing the dealer didn’t do anymore damage that might cause more problems.

Thanks....

 

i read all the bs on here about that a while back and got all worked up over it wondering if it would ever be fixed. i went and had mine done and they did 2 things: they shimmed the driveshaft to make it a different angle- that is a common problem at least w/ the '04-05's. that procedure is supposed to cure the vibration at highway speeds. the second thing they did was replace something in the rear axle, i can't remember what it was but it was a simple procedure. i remember seeing that the tsb told them to use a heavier duty axle oil as well. that procedure is supposed to cure the vibration/shudder that you may feel when you begin accelerating from a complete stop. I'm not sure about all the year models involved, but you know it if you've got it. my truck is fixed for the most part, the only vibration i notice now is at 85+ mph when i let off the gas- this is the same vibration in the driveshaft as before, i am guessing the shim job was enough to fix it for more normal speeds. i almost never drive 85+ mph, and if i do, it is only for a few seconds, so i have no problems.

 

Someone has to have the current TSB...

 

Bump....

 

Weekend bump...

 

I am going to have my rear driveshaft balanced, I have a vibration at 55-65 mph. Rattles me insane.

 

I've recently purchased a 2004 F150 SuperCrew and I have the vibration/shudder problem on taking off from a complete stop when you start to turn. When I take off straigth it doesn't shudder so much....I also have the FX4 package so I thought that might make a difference. Like I read in an earlier post...would it help to use a heavier oil? I must say that I don't have the vibration problem on the highway at higher speeds...
Does anybody else have the same problem and found a solution for it?

 

I have the same issue on an o7 supercab from a dead stop towing my 21' travel trailer i get that shutter vibration when trans is shifting into 2nd never fails very anoying dealer claims never heard of and of course they don't feel it when they drive it anyone with more info

 

Clutch packs will solve your problem.

 

I had more problems with my 04, that Ford bought it back. Clutch packs, engine noise, etc...

The only problem I have with my 06 replacement is that there is a vibration around 45-55 MPH. But, I didnt have it with my 04.

Yes, I know it is a somewhat common problem, but I just want to know what the dealer will (can) screw up during the repair process.
