I've had one new gmc a 79 one ton.they were putting all new lifters in it the first six months, that was it for gmc. Then a used 77 f150 great truck straight six.Next a 87 one ton no problems, tuff truck loved it.97 heavy duty I'm still running it, runs great, I think all American made trucks are good trucks, but ford goes the extra step.ive seen masons load a ford half ton until it was almost dragging on the ground and laugh at it. They couldn't kill it.i now have a 2011 f150 with the 5.0 motor great .but the truck came with a trany shutter at 1400 rpm.from 1st to 2nd gear only.they tried to fix it but they couldn't so now they say it's normal and it's supposed to shake like that. The more weight and the more it shudders. It's a reminder of $33,000 of Ford hurt me every time I drive it.what good company would do that to a customer. Hurt me once shame on you, hurt me twice shame on me.the 79 gmc took responsibility to fix the motor. Good buy ford, your not that much better.

 

Troll much?

 

what?

 

 

At this point you need to cut your losses and go buy a Honda Ridgeline with the duramax.

It's your only option here.

 

Honda FTW

 

Great first post.

 

At least he didn't start a 2.7, 3.5, 3.5tt, 5.0, 6.2 MPG thread.

 

that can be arranged in short order ...

 

By your own words "truck came with a tranny shudder".

So are we to assume that you bought it with a tranny shudder? If so I have to ask why? No offense but if you paid $33k for a truck with a tranny shudder, shame on you. Now granted the dealer should fix it if it's still under warranty but I have to ask again, why buy a truck with a transmission shudder?
