    How are the 6.7L front suspension components holding up?

    I own a 2018 F-250 and drive a 2017, 2015 f-350 at work and all three trucks have well over 30000 miles with zero issues. The 2015 has 125000 miles on original parts afaik. I don't think what you say is true.

    Is deathwobble a problem on 4/5th gens

    Definitely not caused by weak ball joints, that was the 2003-2013 Rams. The Ford forums seem to think it's the track bar rubber bushing and crappy stabilizer that causes it. I think it has to do with too little caster they set the axle at.

    who has highest mileage gas heavy duty?

    Gas lasts with IMO, less downtime than diesel.

    Is deathwobble a problem on 4/5th gens

    Yeah, nothing was changed besides the caster and stabilizer. Quite frankly, the Ford front end really doesn't need beefing up, it's a pretty durable front Dana style axle.

    Is deathwobble a problem on 4/5th gens

    We have a 2018 Ford F-250 company truck with 85000 miles, and nothing is wrong with the front end, all original. There have been reports of the wobble on the Ford Truck forum, but I think it's due to bad geometry on the latest generation and not due to weak parts. Our experience is the Ford...

    New 2500 Tradesman with clunk/rattle

    I thought I read somewhere that there is a tuned mass damper on these new trucks, I believe under the driver kick panel near the frame rail. That could be an issue that is causing the noise since it contains moving parts. Our company doesn't have any 2019+ trucks, or else I could check exactly...

    2018 Less than 95K Miles and Needs New Transmission

    The F-150 transmission was the one co-developed with GM. 10R80 I believe is the model #.

    2018 Less than 95K Miles and Needs New Transmission

    I haven't heard of issues with the 10R140, it's based on the rock solid 6R140. Very heavy duty transmission for gas engines and the size of the truck. Makes the 66rfe look cute. Weighs about 330 lbs dry vs 250lbs for the 66rfe. I think you will like the new 7.3 'Godzilla' engine.

    Normal for ball joints to go out after @ 70k miles?

    Yeah the Moogs haven't been too good as of late. Carli or Dynatrac make ball joints that can actually make these axles decent. Yes, I agree, since the AAM stupidly has the joint pressed in the "C" of the axle, if you damage it, it is not easily fixable. Splined joints ream that inner c out. I'd...

    Normal for ball joints to go out after @ 70k miles?

    I think anecdotal evidence is worthless, It's better to look at the engineered design. Dana uses both joints to support the load vs the lower only in the RAM. Do the math, if both are the same size, two supporting the load last longer than the one doing it. My anecdotal experience agrees with...

    Noise from rear axle

    The key with helical gear limited slips is to try and ease through tight turns. It almost acts like a Chinese finger, the more you gas it, the harder it locks up. I'd also keep an eye on the cover drain to see if any abnormal metal shavings present themselves.

    Noise from rear axle

    These trucks have a torsen style limited slip. They use gear biasing to resist wheel spin. Often the noise is the gearing riding in the iron case, and not anything to be worried about.

    How Many Miles on you 6.4 Hemi??????

    The new gas trucks are much more reliable. This truck had pitted cams at 450000 miles, and now has over 630000 miles. Original transmission, axles, ac pump, and ps pump.
