A Ford tech's take on "THE CLUNK" (THE ONE and ONLY CLUNK THREAD)

Ditto, Clamup. I could tell the difference before I'd driven a mile from the dealership. I think we now have the truck that SVT intended.

TSB is only for the 2011s though huh? No chance of getting a new driveshaft in a 2010?

If you take it in for this very concern, just point out that it's the same issue for the '11's and that this is the part that should be used.

Well, I finally gave-in to stopping by my original dealer this morning since everyone wants to finger **** the truck first. At the service desk, they were still telling me that some of the clunk might be the shocks (getting tired of that one). After an hour and half (including routine 15,000 mile service), they advised me that a new drive shaft has been ordered per the TSB. It might be Monday before it gets here but, hopefully it won't take more than an hour for them to actually install it once it arrives. I'm looking forward to finally being rid of this damn clunk.

Gonna get mine ordered soon once I have time to take the truck in. Quick question though. I read on another thread that the reason for the speed limiter at 100mph is because of the limitations of the drive shaft. What about after the new one? Do the tolerances change?

The speed is supposed to be for the tires speed rating.

Ok, that's what I originally thought but I had found that. Sounds good, thx

I think it's actually for the tires.

Limiters are almost ALWAYS for the tires.
