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

[pirate air]

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.

Your service department can look it up and tell you. Or if you want PM me your vin and I can look and see.

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.

That sucks. You could buy it and have it shipped over and installed if you really wanted. Or maybe Ford will send you one for free if you call them and tell them your situation.

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 .

I did post pictures of the current driveshaft and the new driveshaft yoke. I don't remember if its on this thread or my clunk is fixed thread. If you browse around you will find it though.

Sounds like the best way to go. Problem is that i don't know who i need to contact within the Ford organisation. Do you have a suggestion?

It should be in this thread. I've been merging the shit out of all the other clunk threads back into this thread.

I'm going to start new clunk threads if I don't start winning some damn contests around here.

Thanks to pirate air I found mine was built on 3/17. As agent 86 would say "Missed it by thaaat much!".

So what you're really trying to say is that you're gonna create a bunch of boring work for Shaggy, Bird, Iron, Tizz, and I and that you're not planning on winning any contests........... Ever??

I would try Ford customer service. 1800 392 3673 There's a few prompts to go through but you should find one for recalls and such that will get you to a human. If you can't find the recall prompt just hit any prompt and tell the person on the phone your situation. They should be able to figure something out I would think.

Haha I saw that and thought the same thing, missed it by a hair!

Some may read that as an abuse of one's power by using a veiled threat to intimidate and harass a subordinate.

But not me

...Cause you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall!

It's true.

But now all this talk of abuse and harassment is getting me a lil riled up!
