Tow Vehicle 2005 F-250 4x4
Anyone have a 2005 F-250 4x4? Just wanted to see if anyone esle has a problem with the front end shaking uncontrolably over expansion joints on inerstate bridges. I have replaced the tires, shocks, stering stabilizer, had front end alined and still have the problem. When the problem occurs the vehicle must come to a complete stop before you can continue. The dealer cannot fix the problem, everything is to spec. Ford recently sent out a bulitin adressing the issue and blamed it on low tire pressure. This is CRAP!!!! Sounds like when the Explorers were all flipping over because they were top heavy, then blamed it on the tires. NTHSA (our government) has closed the case for now in favor of the low tire pressure. Anyone having one of these vehicles should file a report with NTHSA and call Ford directly.

This is not crap. Set your tire pressure to factory spec and use the propper load range tires. I have worked for Ford for a long time and have seen this issue. It is due to the wrong load range tires or low air pressure. And by the way the explorer only flipped over after the POS firestone tires tread seperated. The tread seperated because of low tire pressure. And why would you want to run your tire pressure low? Hope this helps.
