Correct.

 

It's hard to tell if the studs are running true, we are going to put an axle in one of them and see if that does it.

Any update on the axle flange runout issue? A good machine shop can cut and true the flange up!

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

what site did you find that on?

 

HERE is the 10,006........................Fresh off the F150 site!

I am having similar issues with my 2016 Platinum. However, they are much worse in sport and towing modes. Ford has stated that these are normal operating characteristics and that it is my driving style that is causing the issues. A co-worker of mine blew his rear differential at 800 miles. He and I also have vibrating in the drive shaft and steering wheel with humming coming from the transmissions. We bought our transmissions in different states and nearly six months apart. There is a much larger issue here and Ford is obviously trying to cover it up.

Quick update on mine; service advisor called to tell me they are replacing the remaining 3 tires due to being out of tolerance. Road force measured more than 30lbs each. Other than the fact I'm a little miffed they apparently didn't bother to check them last time I had it in(where they replaced one tire) they tell me there is a national back order on these tires out 30-45 days. I'm not at all convinced more of the same is going to make a difference, but I guess I gotta play the game. "Take it home and deal with it until we can try this thing that likely won't fix it" makes for a pretty poor customer experience.

Serious buyers remorse going on here.

That's more than my 3 dealership visits have accomplished. My truck is at a driveline shop as we speak. They're checking the driveshaft. I will report back as soon as I hear back.

I guess I haven't looked very close yet. I'll see it again Monday. They're some form of Goodyear all-season, 20" wheel.

Make sure they check the shaft runout front, middle, rear.

Ok so update time.

 

Took my truck to a driveline shop here in Vegas. Very professional guys. They came and test drove the truck with me and confirmed my vibrations. I left it there for a few hours and I was told that the driveshaft definitely was out of balance. They balanced it and checked for run-out.

 

The tech said it had slight run-out but was within spec. He said it wasn't enough to where he thinks it would cause an issue. The truck does feel smoother now for sure. I only had a small amount of time to test the truck on the highway, which is where I have 90% of my problems. It felt smoother but still had a slight vibration. Next week i will have a lot more time to drive it and see how she does. Don't think my short road test was long enough to confirm anything yet.

Trailer brake = 3.73.

 

Not so fast. I have the trailering package with a trailering brake, and have a 3.42 rear-end.

Fine with me. I have 3.42 with no trailer brake. Let's agree it's 3.42 or better.

I'd be tempted to have that minor run-out corrected if you still have any vibes. These trucks seem to be super-sensitive to anything that causes vibration.

I purchased a halfway decent dial indicator with a magnetic base. I should be to at least get an idea if the run out is out of spec, right?

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      By garagerog · Posted

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
