I took my truck in yesterday to get the steering rack replaced and the IWE valve. The steering is so much tighter now and from what I can tell the clicking noise is gone.

I still recommend giving universal a shot. As far as I can tell the rear end click is gone.

I'd love a loaded 2013 FX4 6.2L in black or white, but that isn't happening. It's going to be a loooooooong time before I'll be able to take a $10,000 hit on a new truck.

Why would you continue to stay with ford? Just for the deals?

The deals, and the fact that Ford is the only truck that appeals to me. Process of elimination:

Dodge: Don't like the look, cramped interior, crappy seats
Chevy: Fugly inside and out, previous bad experience
Toyota: No
Nissan: Lol
GMC: Great looking truck, "meh" interior, previous Chevy experience

5 years ago, yes. Today? I'd have to disagree. I've had the chance to drive their 2012 300 and even the 2012 charger. Very comfortable cars to drive, great power, and incredible mileage for a full size rwd car. Really would not mind owning one for myself.
