Im still unsure what im going to do with my truck, exploring options, I truly despise driving it.

Tentatively I am interested in being part of the group buy, however between now and then things may change, hard to say just yet.

Just to reiterate a suggestion I had made earlier with regards to the group buy, once the price has been set and the difference is able to be found between that and the original price, if we could set up a way to reimburse jimmy the difference I think that would be the right thing to do.
By summer ford will have a TSB that addresses the 55mph shudder.

Slap on a set of helper springs or an RAS and sort the axel wrap shudder and carry on.

Ok, should I PM you my PayPal addy to pay for the solution of a problem Ford created and refuses to follow up with?

Sorry, but I do not have a ton of expendable income. This truck was a HUGE purchase for my family, but also meant to last over 10 years. I have a big problem spending $400 of my hard earned money to fix a problem that should be rectified by Ford.

All kidding aside, are you really hard up for $400?

If so, PM me.

I have always been a GM guy. But i love everything about my Platinum EB, except for the damn shudder. It does **** me off thet ford doesn't fix it. But if this roadmaster thing fixes it, it will be money well spent. I will just do more research and test driving next time when buying a Ford product.

My kids have clothes are on their backs and food in their bellies. Im not rich, but im not living on the street.

$400 is a lot of money to my wife and I. Additionally my poor wife is about at the end of her rope hearing and dealing with me and this truck. Discussing spending $400 of our money to "fix" something that should be fixed by the manufacturer is not something I am wanting to do currently.

Again, I am exploring some options to try and recuperate some funds that could be put towards this.

Thanks for your concerns.

Since it was Bucketman's efforts that got Ford to admit they will do nothing that got the rest of us to act, how about we pass a hat for Bucketman?

I'm in for $40.00.

I'll absolutely match that!

The stress that this type of situation puts on a couple can be painful. I understand how your wife feels and I hope she understands how you feel as well... this is crap man.

He's done a lot of leg work and others should recognise it as we are/have.

Having bthe 5.0 157" crew, i don't have all h shudder at 55-65, but i have the take off shudder...Wheel hop is pretty bad if i get on it on wet/snowy roads.

Looking to talk to dealership soon! Not sure what they will do though!

NEGATIVE!!!!! NEGATIVE GHOSTRIDER THE PATTERN IS FULL!!!!

Thats very nice and super flattering, however I can not accept any donations like that.

While the money is something that I cant justify spending at this minute, it is equally a moral dilemma for me as well. I am meeting with an individual this week regarding this whole cluster.

Again, thank you, inspiring to see there are still good people out in this world.
