#1869 of 2180 Re: 2005 F150 Super Crew Rear End Slipping [hossupj] by sammyboy Feb 22, 2006 (10:24 pm)
Replying to: hossupj (Dec 20, 2005 4:58 pm) I had the same thing on my 2002 F350 power stroke. About once a year you have to have the rear spine going into the read end greased. The first time mine was on warrantee, the second time it cost me $120.00. Doesn't that make you fill good that you will have to pay for that every year. How long has Ford been making trucks, never used to have that type of probem on trucks years ago. And to think I just traded my F350 for a F150

#1871 of 2180 78 F250 has lost spark by jpcv7 Feb 25, 2006 (7:01 pm)
A couple of months ago my 78 F250 wouldn't start. Thinking that I had flooded it I just left is sit and caught a ride to work. When I got home she fired right up. This happed several times, but was no big deal. Last week it happened again but this time the truck wouldn't start when I got home.   I pulled one plug and found that it wouldn't spark while the truck was cranking, but would spark just as I stopped turning the truck over. At one point it actually started with the plug out. When I replaced the plug it wouldn't fire.   I changed the ignition module and she fired up. I got about a half mile from the house only to have the truck die. I pulled over, stopped, turned the key and it fired off and I drove to work. One of the quick connects on the coil was loose so I tightened it up when I got to work.   The next day it did the same thing twice coming home. Then last night it died in the driveway and would not come back to life. I swapped the coil, ignition module, ignition switch, harness from the ignition module to the distributor, cleaned the cap and rotor - no life. I've got power to the coil, but no spark.   It was cold and snowing today so I decided not to pull the distributor which would be my next move. The engine only has about 40K on it so the distributor is pristine inside.   Anyone out there gone through this drill?   Thanks,   John
#1872 of 2180 Re: Vibration Problems, one more time [jtelesky] by inness Feb 28, 2006 (6:35 am)
Replying to: jtelesky (Feb 10, 2006 7:24 pm) You are correct about this problem not being repaired. My truck has been in the shop for 28 days as of today. It has already met 1 of 3 criteria for the Lemon law in the state of VA, and Thursday it will meet 2 of the 3 criteria. I don't plan on dealing with Ford anymore with this problem except on getting my $$$ back. So far they have replaced the Rack & Seal steering system and the drive shaft. Now the truck rides much worse than before. I left the truck with them and said that I won't pick it up until it's fixed correctly. The service department is treating me like some idiot giving me all the excuses that I should return their loaner car and pick up my truck. My wife was dealt with in a rude manner by the service representative when they contacted her instead of myself. The proper paperwork is being sent registered mail today to Ford Motor Co., the dealership and VA Consumer Affairs. This is the only way to get closure on this issue. Ford engineers know of this problem and still haven't developed a fix. Stay away from Ford F-150's.

Replying to: roberts17 (Feb 19, 2006 7:41 pm) I think that you have made the right choice. Look at what my Ford dealership has done. I'm done dealing with them myself. Below is the posting I put out today, and if you read the back on some other postings we are not alone.   You are correct about this problem not being repaired.

#1874 of 2180 Glad I did not buy an F150 by p100 Feb 28, 2006 (1:14 pm)
I recently bought a new 06 Silverado Z71 crew cab. I had a hefty GM card rebate, which influenced my decision to buy a Chevy. However, I was strongly considering an F150 4X4 crew cab, because several of my coworkers have older models and are very happy with them. Now, after reading about these vibration issues, I am glad I did not buy a Ford. I hope that Ford will come up with a permanent fix quickly. New full size trucks are not cheap to buy anymore and with today's technology, people deserve better quality than this. For ten years I drove a 1995 Nissan V6 4X4 pickup and the truck was extremely reliable. Practically nothing went wrong in 10 years and A/C was blowing just as cold when I sold it as on the day I bought it. Never touched it in 10 years! Now I am worried that I too have made a mistake buying an American truck. Only time will tell.

Replying to: lilozarklil (Jan 14, 2006 9:21 pm) Want my opinion on Continental tires? Absolute junk. I had throw away a set of 4 Continental CH95s on my Mazda 626 because they literally fell apart. Has loose belts or something like that. I bought two new ones later and they were both totally out of round. My friend had the same problem with a set of C95s he bought for his Mazda Miata. he threw them away as well.   I never had larger picup truck/SUV Continental tires, but if the quality control is the same as on the passenger car tires, they must be awful.
#1876 of 2180 '06 F150 abysmal residual!!! by mac24 Mar 01, 2006 (6:48 pm)
In addition to its other problems, the F150 is now second only to the Kia Rio for having the worst residual value. After three years it's projected to be worth only 28.7% of its original cost.   Cars.com
#1877 of 2180 Doesn't mean much by bamacar Mar 01, 2006 (8:30 pm)
The XL is the worktruck version which people don't want after they have been beat up for 3 years. The XLT, STX, Lariat etc. must be worth more than 32.2% and more than the fullsize Chevy 1500. Its 33-52% for the other models on that same website.
