I have noticed that something feels a little loose when stopping and starting.  As I take off from a stand still It feels like there is a little bit of play.  Not a lot but I feel it.  Now I hear nothing clunking so I am not sure if it is the Slip Youk or what ever it is called.  And when stopping it almost feels like the ABS is kicking in as I slow down.  Could this be because of the breaks needing to be replaced?  Or is it a bad sensor?  Any and all help is appreciated.

 

Later,

Brandon

You're probably feeling some drivetrain backlash.  The driveline is most likely bound when you stop, and then when you step on the gas the rear of the truck drops a little as the rear axle twists the other way, and a little bit of slop is taken out of the universals.

 

ABS has been known to be activated on slightly rougher roads as the rear wheels bounce a little.  I'd check your tire pressure and see if it helps.

The yoke will give you a clunk when starting and stopping.  The ABS will kick on if you're going a bit quick(not too fast really) over some bumps while trying to stop for a light or turn.  I've kind of adjusted my driving in the areas around home to allow me to either slow before the bump or let off the brakes then re-apply after the bump.  Ridiculous that these trucks are like that for the $ we put down.

Shanners that makes a lot of sence.  Now with the breaks it is on smooth surfaces.  It is below 10 mph.  I think it might be because of poorly adjusted breaks.  I am replacing everything except the calipers and drums this weekend.  If I still have the problem I will bring it to the dealer.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
