POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
I AM NOT THE ONLY FORD F-350 TRUCK OWNER HAVING THESE CLUTCH PROBLEMS. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL GUYS WHO HAVE PUT 3 OR MORE CLUTCHES REPLACED UNDER 100,000 MILES. THERE IS DEFINATELY A PROBLEM WITH THESE CLUTCH ASSEMBLIES. THESE TRUCKS ARE SOLD AS SUPER-DUTY WORK TRUCKS, BUT ARE NOT WITHSTANDING THE WORKLOADS THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY BUILT FOR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SATISFACTION. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER.
