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

[Squatting Dog]

Living close to claycomo plant, I see a lot of f150's on hold at an offsite lot.

recall 11b25 was just release as a customer satisfaction recall for 2011 ratptors built from 10/10 to 3/12/2011. It was released 6/14, so yes they did release recall after the tsb release.

Great! does this mean that Customer Satisfaction would result in a RECALL for the ****** orange peel paint that FORD put on my 50K for Raptor truck?

dont take it personal, Im just not happy with the quality of Fords paint process. If I could avoid the TAX loss I would sell this one up for a Raptor that has paint that doesnt look like pounded copper with Black spray paint .

Lol - I just had my 2010 driveshaft replaced today, and after an 80 mile trip, it clunked twice getting into the hotel parking lot. I'll be looking into this one in the next few weeks.

I wonder if I call Sterling McCall Ford here in Houston if they've seen this recall or even heard of the F150 Raptor yet? Not that it matters, Champion Ford in Katy put in an new driveshaft on Tuesday of last week and I've been clunk free ever since.

I got a couple pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 paper with mine with numbers all over them. Build sheets maybe? If so they are dated 3/17 so I assume that was the build date. I haven't detected any clunk yet but I still have less than 200 miles on it.

I have 1300 miles on my 2011 that was built march 2nd and delivered April 10th am I safe from the clunk you think? I just dropped the truck off to have the ambient lighting installed and if I was going to get the clunk hoped to have it fixed while in now.

Anybody have before and after pics of the Orignal drive shaft to the Replacment one with the slip yoke . I know mine is affected and waiting for parts .

Mine is from 01/14/2011 and has the clunk. Wonder how i get this matter resolved since shipping my Raptor back to the US is not really an option.
