Is this just for 1/2 tons or is this for 3/4 tons as well?

The list on there is straight from the NHTSA website so I would image if yours falls into this category then you are affected. Sorry but I am still researching it to see if it means OBS trucks or NBS as for the 2007 model year

If you had them replaced, you will need to check, not original equipment, that's why there are carquest numbers.

Good point - I should have stated that

Great. That is one of the downsides of buying a used truck.

Does not look like any 2500's in 2001. Take a look at the list...

[Tylerz71]

My truck could be affected for all I know..

 

So any 7.3 F250 or 5.3 GM owner that bought their truck used without much owner/repair history could possible be affected?

Dang.

Carquest is currently on my s__t list. I am not surprised that they have problems with their parts. Recently they are carrying more and more cheap Chinese made parts. I bought a set of rebuilt rear brake calipers for my brother's Nissan Maxima from Carquest. Two sets of calipers later, they still do not work right. Who needs a lifetime warranty on junk that does not work right in the first place?
