#290 of 353 Rear Axle Identification by fordman26 Mar 02, 2009 (1:03 pm)
my 2001 F350 Diesel owners manual lists three different rear axle types and gear oil types accordingly but no way of matching the axle ID-tag numbers to the list. The gear oils are of vastly different viscosities, so I think it matters which oil is in the axle. I appreciate any advice on this.

Hey out there 2000 f250 v-10 runs and shifts perfect but leaking from what I think is the front seal. Only in hot weather or towing tool trailer in Denver metro traffic. whatcha think, Replies to this message: hortonlane (Apr 27, 2009 8:48 am) jjf350007 (Apr 28, 2009 2:23 pm)
#293 of 353 "Dragging" noise like post #196 by warriorcoach Mar 19, 2009 (5:43 am)
Hello -   have a 05 F-150 supercrew automatic trans with 54000 miles. 3 times in the last two days (about 30 miles of city driving) I have had a terrible noise when slowing down to turn or coming to a stop. I thought the first time that the muffler fell off and I was dragging it on the road or like someone else said - ran over a shopping cart and was stuck under the truck.   Pulled over quickly and noise went away when I almost got stopped. Today, I shifted to N and it went away - don't know if this was just a coincidence though, maybe was good timing.   Is it the transmission or could it be the clutch?? Did not hear any clunking noises but I don't think I had power - believe I tried to accelerate today after it happened and could not. Have seen the same problem posted a couple times in this forum section but no real solutions given to the problem or no one has said what their mechanic found.   Would be real upset if I have to replace a trans at 54000 miles.

Replying to: warriorcoach (Mar 19, 2009 5:43 am) Well, took it into the stealership today and they swear it is the 4 wheel drive vacuum pump trying to engage. Said moisture damages it and on my year it will go bad eventually - not if but when.   Hope they are right!

Replying to: warriorcoach (Mar 20, 2009 6:41 am) Well, seems like that's what it was. THink the official name is the IWE solenoid. THere is a TSB out about it. It is a $27 part. I would suggest that anyone that haas a 4 wheel drive F-150 with the old style solenoid on it - replace it with the new one. I am really upset with ford that they let us have this part on the truck that they know is bad and will malfunction - not if but when. This $27 part can cause thousands in damage to your vehicle if it fails. I've seen posts where guys have had to get new hubs and other parts - one guy even said transfer case - because of this part failing. This part makes your 4 wheel drive engage. When it malfunctions, it is trying to make it engage when you don't want it too - like at highway speeds! I can't believe that I am not going to have some type of damage to the truck down the road from this part failing. AND FORD KNOWS IT IS A BAD PART. I called ford and tried to get an extended powertrain warranty out of this but no deal. They would not do anything for me - nothing and had no sympathy. Told them it would at least be nice to get a letter telling us we may want to replace this cheap part to prevent major damage in the future. The girl on the phone kept asking what they could do for me and everything I suggested she would reply that they could not do that for me. No extended warranty, no pay for the service or the part. Even asked them to send a letter out to all F-150 owners with this part letting them know that it will go bad and of course the response was "We can't do that sir, you're talking about a part that has not failed on a vehicle yet." But they know it will fail, that's why the new one has a cover on it to prevent moisture from getting to it.   Sorry for ranting. In short, Ford sucks donkey di**. This id my third Ford in a row but it is definitely my last. When I get it paid off in July this piece of junk is outta here. Spend $27 and put the part on yourself. It's two bolts on upper firewall on pass. side in back of battery. Oh yea - FORD SUCKS!!!!

Replying to: warriorcoach (Mar 21, 2009 6:02 am) If you think Ford is bad you should check out some of the Chevy forums. My brother has a 2002 S10 pickup and it is a POS. The fuel injection system is junk and had to be replaced and he's had major problems with the ignition system and the VAC security system.

Replying to: fletch9 (Mar 11, 2009 5:17 am) Wondering if you were able to figure this out. Have a 2002 with the same exact problem.
