Ford F150 Vibration

FORD F150 VIBRATION

Ford F150 owners, particularly for model year 2011, have experienced excessive vibration.  Here is how one described it.   

 

The vibration is starting from a dead stop and goes away within 100 feet. Can also be felt just before coming to a stop. Ford says it's related to the angle of the drive shaft. Or in Ford's words "driveline windup". They've shimmed the leaf springs. and changed them twice. The last ones being updated 2012 springs. And they've changed a transmission mount. Each time the vibration goes away for a short time, but always comes back. Since they haven't been able to find a similar truck without the problem, they've washed their hands of the problem by claiming it's "Characteristic" of the vehicle and an "acceptable vibration". It's not acceptable to me. I understand Ford is changing the drive shaft from a one piece to a two piece in 2013. That's for a Supercrew with a 6 1/2 foot box.
