2005 F150 FX4 violent shaking issues

Fishing tech, I didnt think of that, but if it is a 4x4, the IWE, (front lock outs) can cause this as well, if one is staying locked in!

I have been out since August, but at that time we started to run into a few of them.

Could it happen even if I havent had 4wd locked in in the last 5 months?

[Scott K]

Yes it could still happen.

Yes, they are vacuum operated. If I remember right vacuum is applied to disengage, so if 1 side is sticking the vacuum won't be strong enough to diengage it until it gets warmed up.(driving it)meaning that axle will be spinning

Good luck Moe. I have seen the e-brake issue also and 4.W.E. brings up a good point.

Let us know!

E-Brakes it is. Guess it failed something fierce. Tech said he duplicated it on the road and it was the worst he'd ever seen. They ordered a parts kit for it. Hopefully it will be done today or early wednesday.

Glad to hear they found it!

Good diagnosis guys.

Does anyone know if this is happening on the more recent models? I have an 08 F150.

I will let 4.W.E. give the final word, but I would say not. I think it was clearned up by 06, if not by 07...

Are you having concerns?

Yes 08's are also involved with these problems. If you are having the same concerns, I would have it checked out as well.

I stand corrected

So its the e-brake cables that are hanging up? I didn't think any of them still had e-brakes shoes in them? More often than not when you remove the rear rotor the e-brake shoes fall off. The typical response from the customer is we never use the e-brake and decline the repairs. We give the general spiel about safety and thats about as far as it goes.

I use mine every time i park in the driveway (sloped) or park with the boat. I wouldnt pay to fix it had it been out of warranty. I would have just replaced it myself.

No problems yet, unless you count a lighter wallet from feeding the beast. Actually it's been getting better milage than my '03.

My question was for info gathering. I just like to keep an eye on things that are potential problems so I have some idea what may happen and what to do to keep me on the road. For example I'm not going to change the spark plugs myself on this one.
