Noticed today that I can feel it in our F350 and E350 ambulances as well as my GFs Jeep Liberty, so its not an F150 issue or even a Ford issue only.

But hey Deano-FX4, if you have worked for Ford for 12 years wanna get on top of this issue for us. Maybe at the sametime suggested some upfitter switchs for us like the Super Duties have. JK, but it would it nice. lol

Upfitter Switch is just 4 switchs in the superduty trucks for add on accessories. Just a nice little feature for anyone that adds stuff that needs a switch.

Bought a 4.6 94' T-Bird in 96' and noticed it did the same. Salesman told me it was normal and not to worry about it. Thirteen years later it's still doing it and the car is still going strong. 165,000 miles on the beast and it still pulls like a mother. Kind of hard to have a vehicle this long and not be a little attached to it. Don't worry about your wipers, sounds like they're working fine to me. I would be worried now if I didn't feel them in the brake pedal anymore. LOL

I've never noticed it on mine, however, I do remember the wipers of old. It felt like they were going to tip the truck over. LOL.

I know what you mean about being attached. My first love was a 77 Cutlass; then a 92 5.0 Mustang. Been through many after, and now I have fallen for a 09 F150

yeah, you'll get used to it. The first couple weeks I had my '04, it drove me nuts. A few months, you'll never even notice it. I had forgotten all about it till I saw your post.
