Hi Everyone,
Recently bought a CPO, 2014 F-350 Crew Cab Short Box Platinum with 58k Miles on it, appears lightly used. 12k Bumper to Bumper Warranty
After having the truck for 2 weeks and having some hot days I've noticed some issues. I've looked into them on the forum here and have found some solutions but one of the main ones is what is worth mentioning to the dealer? In other words what would be considered a fixable issue vs that's just the way it is.
-One actual issue I need addressed is the Air Conditioning. It blows 'cool' then room temp then back again, I've read this could be the clutch? And I quoted cool because it isn't cold, I don't have a digital thermostat to actually measure the temp. Also when I put it on max AC I barely notice a difference, in fact I think it made it slightly warmer.
-Second is the air conditioned seats, I read that one user said the back was freezing and the bottom barely got cold however for mine the back doesn't get cold at all. I've thought about it being the filter but also read something about the foam?
-Third is the door rattle. I mean this is almost embarrassing how much the door rattles. I read the surgical tube fix, however do you think I could mention this to the dealer and they would do anything or am I on my own on this one?
-Fourth is whenever I hit a bump (I do a lot of city driving ) and especially on the highway the truck feels like it's going to hop into the other lane, sometimes almost like a fishtailing sensation. It has brand new Yokohama Geolander A/T on it with 65 PSI front and 80 PSI rear. I'm not expecting an F-350 to ride like a cadillac but is this normal and again is it worth mentioning to the dealer? Not sure if the sway bar or anything else would be affecting this. It has the offroad package from the factory with Rancho shocks.
I'm new to owning a super duty, previously I had an 04 Expedition. I have some knowledge about the truck and it's systems etc but again still new to this. Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated. I wanted the Certified Pre Owned so if I encountered any issues I could just drop it off and not be bothered by it as I know working on these things gets expensive fast.
Thanks again in advance,
Matt
