[QUOTE="Crashthepunisher, post: 47113, member: 1371"] Had my first truck now for about two weeks, 600 miles, and I'm really pleased with it. The only things I would change if I could is a driver's side door rattle and what I believe is described as wheel hop, I think just with the front wheels but not sure. On certain bumps, the door just seems to make a little rattle as if it's not completely tight. I've seen Randy's post regarding beefing up the door seals by pulling surgical tubing through. I might eventually do this, but I'm wondering if you think this is more likely to be solved by an adjustment of the door latch? I haven't looked at it closely, but I'm not sure how it can be adjusted, and don't want to screw it up worse. To the Ford Techs, any tips, or should I just take it in to the dealer? Not crazy about leaving the truck for a day and possibly getting it back without any change ("we don't hear anything"), but if that's what needs to be done, I'll do it. On the "wheel hop", it just feels like the suspension kind of vibrates over smaller bumps. I don't notice it, even when I floor it over a speed hump, but in Oklahoma our roads suck ass with potholes everywhere, so it sometimes feels like the tires are just bouncing up and down a few times after those smallish bumps, kind of loose feeling. Is this just to be expected. Is there a sure, relatively inexpensive suspension fix to solve this or make it significantly better? [/QUOTE]
