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

[HoustonRider]

I think the dealer is supposed to do nothing ( literally) until the new resolution is decided on. I've heard they won't even lube the yoke.

Well anyone need it done, I have a whole can of the ford grease. Dirty minds need not apply.

Just bought a 2011 Raptor Screw which began manufacture during the week of 1/24 and has developed the same clunk which started at about 800 miles. Saw in previous postings that this problem was to be taken care of in models built after 1/7.....not. Whatever was done to address the problem doesn't seem to be working. Have an appointment for Wednesday at the dealer. Will see if I at least get a temporary fix.

That sucks, but many of us are in the same boat. Please let us know what they say/do. Ford has stopped recommending the slip yoke lubrication, at least for those who have already had it done once. Curious to see what they do for someone with a new truck.

I had the dealer lube the yoke and it only lasted 2 days till the clunk came back

My truck is basically brand new... only a few weeks old. The local dealer refused to lube the slip yoke. They said that Ford isn't paying them to do that any more since the problem just comes back. The service guy basically said what others have also stated... Ford is working on a permanent fix. Stay tuned.

it's so nice to have everything you ever wanted to know about the CLUNK in one place(why does my left hand always go to the Shift button when i type CLUNK?)

anyway...i'm looking around the other forums and see 100 cry baby threads about the problem and how people are actually cancelling orders over it like it's the end of the world. this is getting out of hand...but not on FRF. thanks guys!

Will do. As soon as I described the problem to the dealership, they nodded their heads and had that look in their eyes like they new exactly what the problem was...said they would take care of it. Doesn't look like its going to be as easy as they think.

Superior level of mechanical intelligence over here.

For many of us it's a serious problem. I think the number of threads (on other forums) reflects the frustration many are feeling, and posting more and more threads is a desperate attempt to get Ford's attention. To be honest, I was initially surprised by the lack of "clunk" threads over here, considering the fact that it is such a serious issue.
