[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1808917, member: 35543"] Recalls are generally for safety issues, which this is not. It would be a waste of everyone’s time to bring every vehicle to the dealer for an issue their truck doesn’t exhibit; not all of the shocks have the noise concern. The service bulletin is pretty clear in what the repair direction is, and they provide a build date cutoff. Meaning if a truck exhibits the symptom described and was built before the build date cutoff, start NVH diagnosis at the shocks. If the noise is coming from a shock, replace it. The change that was made in production will be the same change applied to the new service parts; previous shock replacements are irrelevant. This issue isolated to Gen 3 truck; it has nothing to do with Gen 2. If you had a clunk of a Gen 2 you had something else going on, there were no common shock issues. Was your truck stock? Please do not abuse the service information I provide, I do not post it to be used as ammunition against any party. It is not customer facing, meaning only dealers and those subscribed can access it. I do not expect anyone to slap this in the face of a dealer and make demands. My intent is to educate those with the concern who are within the build date range that the issue was isolated to the shocks (as many already suspected) and the dealer now has diagnostic direction to replace the affected shock(s) with the new service parts.
