Was it ford who said they were balanced or just that at some point in the past you had new tires put on and valences then so you believe they are still within trim? Was it warranty work or out of pocket for what they did on your rig?

Work was under premium care extended warranty. Prior to bringing the f150 to ford the tire store performed a balance and rotation, 4 wheel alignment (couldnt get it to full balance). After service from ford, i brought it back to tire store, they rebalanced front wheels, and performed alignment and got it to spec. Tires are about 35000 miles on an 80000 rated michelin tire

Would not start single Click, everything else was good, turned out I just had to punish together the key on the front end for the BCM to recognise my key

CommentHung in gear
Ford F-150 2003 Supercrew 5.4tritin 100300 miles
I just had to swap trans it drove fine than it like got hung in between gears even in park. It had Ben totteleda few months before in the front end and I never fixed the airbaggs the light flashes on dash. Is there a chance that it has to do with that because the transmission I just took out just lost reverse but everything else was fine but new tran now won't go into reverse and is hung in forward gear even when in park

CommentRattling noise front axel left side

Turning sharp on either side. Begins to slide instead of turn. Driving on roads dirt or snow i can hear a rattling coming from front left side of suspension

Hmm, there HAS to be some slippage when turning in 4x4 because the front and rear and side to side tires travel different distances. I suspect the suspension has nothing to do with the sliding, the rattling noise is probably just normal.
CommentBlinker switch
Ford F-150 2023 5.0 Tremor crew cab 26000 miles
When I turn right and engage my blinker it wont disengage and I have to forcefully neutral it out. Brought it to the ford I bought it from they say it needs an alignment, I've never heard of that being a way of fixing this issue ?!
