Tom Woods Driveshaft ordered and installed!

Hopefully interest will grow enough for it to be worth Shaun's time to make one for the Tremor.

My Tremor does not vibrate at any speed and I don’t know of any that do but perhaps there are some. My Tremor was good from day one.

Count your blessings!

I have thought about why some have issues and others apparently do not.

Perhaps a build tolerance issue... Who knows!

My truck had a terrible shake at >70mph, and was downright scary above 75. TW driveshaft cured it. And the takeoff and stop shudder as well.

This thread makes me want to order one. Might be ordered before the end of the summer.

But you do not have a Tremor. I have not found anyone here with a shaky Tremor unless it has been modified in some way.

No, I do not have a Tremor, but others who do have Tremors have noticed similar vibrations.

We have discussed it before at length here, and no Tremor owners at the time had vibrations unless they had first modified the suspension. I'd like to hear from them on this thread if that is not the case. In fact, most non-Tremor owners only had vibration after they modified the suspension. So many people want to spend megabucks modifying their Ranger and then wondering why it doesn't run right.

 

[TJC]

Perhaps. I am not familiar with Tremors, but I noted a few investigating TW options.

I wish mine had been smooth from the factory. I have replaced the rear shocks, but not the front. Had the problem well before the rears were replaced.

Maybe I’m the first to complain? 2022 Tremor. Just rolled over 20,000 miles. Only mods I have are 1 1/2” front level and Unleashed tune.

Currently experiencing what seems to be rear suspension vibration, like driving over washboards. Also hearing harmonic sounds, primarily from 72-70 mph when letting off the accelerator.

I also experienced issues with the factory General Tires having scalloped edges and loud tire noise.

Just replaced the tires last week with new Cooper. Tire noise/roar went away but the vibration issues remain.

Dropping the truck off to Ford in the morning. Luckily my sons good friend is heavy engine mechanic and was able to get me into the driveline mechanic asap.

Will report back after the dealer has had a look.

I’ve very much enjoyed the Tremor up until now. Very frustrating!

I'm having the same issue with my 2021 Tremor. I took it to the dealership yesterday. The result, they have ordered a new driveshaft for it and will be installing in on the 12th. I'll follow up with the results.

My truck was in shop for over a week. They found nothing but out of balance wheels. They road force balanced the wheels and returned the vehicle. After driving a brand new F150 loaner, there was not much difference.

Since I've noticed another thread here in the forum talking about the drive shaft, I'll update that one instead. There are multiple symptoms being talked about. I'm now scheduled for Monday install of the new driveshaft.

My 17 F150 had some weird shudders too.

Seems to be a ford thing.

Just ordered my TW driveshaft. How easy was it to install? As simple as undoing bolts and torquing to spec?

That's Pretty much it.

I did mine last week. Remove the four bolts from each end, then two bolts that hold the center support. It popped right off. When you install the Tom Wood's driveshaft you don't reinstall the center support. Took me an hour and I was moving slow.
