Hi everyone, I am a new forum member as well as a recent ecoboost owner. I bought a used '13 screw with the 6.5' bed....I love the truck with the exception of the vibration, shake, whatever you want to call it at take of with a load in the bed of the truck. I can even feel it with just my dirt bike in the bed. I've seen the YouTube videos and read a lot of forum topics on the subject and it seems a lot of people are saying the raptor trans mount is the cure for this. I may have skipped over it in a different thread so I appoligize if it has been covered but my question is what year raptor trans mount is everyone using and also my dealer said they list a two mounts, one for trans with hill assist and one without that feature. My XLT does not have that feature but I wanted to ask.

I don't have shudder, but I do have incredible wheel hop. Doubt this mount will change much, helper springs or the RAS would probably be more helpful. Anyone else have a 2014 with a 5.5' bed taken a look underneath at the driveshaft?

That's odd I think. I have 2 friends with screw 5.5 bed, they have 1 piece aluminum driveshaft.

I'm pretty sure there were some tsb's floating around for 11's with clunky drivetrains. I think it was something in the diff.

Now that you mention it, you're right. I took my truck for the intercooler replacement roughly 45k miles ago and I mentioned the driveshaft clunk to the dealership. They greased it and the clunk was gone. He told me it would never come back. I guess he was wrong. I completely forgot about that until now...
I have a 2013 Screw 4wd with 6.5 bed and Hill Start Assist, I get both the take off shudder and the whole truck shakes like the tires are out of balance when I tow. Ford blew me off saying "the pinion angles were within spec" so they wouldn't do anything. The general manager of the dealership is a friend's brother, so he is working with me. He ordered the AL3Z6068B mount for me, but it doesn't fit. I am unable to find the correct part number for the Hill Start Assist Raptor mount. I got the VIN's for 2 Raptors with HSA and had the parts guy look them up and they both referred to that same part number. Does anyone know a different part number?
