Man Step, Stripper Pole, Tailgate rattling fix
So I finally had it with the rattling for the tailgate on 12' FX4. So I took it to another dealer to hunt the problem. Luckily the Service Manager Mike has the same truck that had the same issue with a squeak and little rattle over rough roads. He fixed it in ten minutes. They lubed the stripper pole pivot bolt, fixed (replaced) the rubber bushing in the tailgate cover at the top of the handle rest, and then adjust the tailgate latch (loose) and lubed where the king pin locks. Sound is gone and I can enjoy having the back slider open again.
