Ford now has an official fix for the acceleration shudder 0-30kph while towing or under load.
New spring package!
Helps stop the axle wrap to remove "most " of the symptoms.
My dealer popped in my VIN and out popped a fix bulletin.
Truck has to go in and dealer read part # off my spring assembly and order new parts.
Going in next week.
Stay tuned!

Just got out of my dealership and the fix is not new springs but spacerblocks to adjust pinion angle and ride height. Parts on back order.
Sheet!
Here comes my traction bars to stop the axle wrap for sure!

My dealer wants to put these spacer blocks on mine also to chage pinion angle. Do you know what it would do to ride height...Higher or lower? Thanks.

I have a shudder when I'm towing a trailer also. But not much at take off. It's more at highway speed when I get in a pull like going up a hill. I have an 09 4X4 extended cab.

Higher would be good! After they told me they were going to change the pinion angle I looked at the pinion to driveshaft and the angle looks a little severe and that's with no load on the truck.
