2010 SCAB

Truck feels like the rear end dips when I come to a stop, then when I accelerate it jolts/releases? Any thoughts?

Welcome! Pics please!! Or everyone else will claim you bought a Prius

Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions for you. Hopefully someone else will - I'm new to the trucks. I'm at the technical level of just taking it to your dealer and explaining what it's doing. The off-road suspension is a bit springy on them, but what you're explaining seems odd. Mine slightly nose dives when braking harsher and the rear slightly dips on rapid initial acceleration.

Welcome to the place, are you thinking your rear brakes are locking up a bit, such as the rear calipers are seizing or are you experiencing a clunk in the back. More specific if you could and post a pic of your baby.

I would say it’s more of a clunking and not the rear brakes locking. Here’s a pic. I love it!

Welcome to FRF! Nice SCAB.

Have you checked out your U-joints?

 

[CoronaRaptor]

Remove your driveshaft and use the Ford lube on the yoke, check your u-joints as @MurderedOutSVT mentioned. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you may need some rear end work. There is also this stupid vibration abosrber on top of the frame on the drivers side rear that by now is probably slopping around. It looks like a brick of steel that is loose up there.

Slip bump in drive shaft or trans needs reflashed. 5.4 or 6.2?

I forgot about that stupid brick thingy.

And lube your shaft like @CoronaRaptor said....

Cause nobody likes a dry shaft. LOL
