2004 Tilt Steering Doesn't Lock
I bought a 2004 F-150 XLT Regular Cab (4.6 L) a couple of months ago. I realized several days later, you could move the steering wheel up or down while in drive with moderate pressure applied. The tilt lever is in the locked position. The dealer wants to replace the steering column. Anyone experienced this or have any thoughts? Thanks.

The steering column had to be replaced to correct the up and down movement. When they replaced the column, the tilt lock was so tight, you could hardly release it. The dealer later adjusted it where it required normal pressure to release.
To answer your question, the steering column was replaced to prevent the up and down movement of the column.
