Dumbest Tremor non-problem ever

[dttheliman]

Overthinking hurts!
So went up to my land last weekend, chucked the dogs and the wife into the truck , along with the .45 and a couple of spare mags in the center console, all was well , had a great weekend popped a few round off ... great I can still hit a target ! Anyway I digress , packed up and headed home - nice and slow over the dirt tracks and rocks , onto the hard top and nearly every time I applied the breaks I hear a clunk - like a shitty noise , didn’t seem to affect braking just the noise so got home really pissy (truck only has 8k on the odo) . Here comes Sunday crawl under the truck - flashlight in hand looking , can’t see anything , jack up the front pull the wheels of .... nothing out of the ordinary - search the internet nothing .... oh well it’s under warranty I’ll get it down to Ford on Monday , just let me take all the personal stuff out - here in lies the gotcha - ready for this guys ? When I was finished shooting and made the gun safe I ejected the round that was in the chamber and dropped it into the center console it was rolling around and clunking - easiest fix ever .

I get it sometimes as well. I went under too to see if anything was loose. All seems fine. Just the random clunk when hitting the brakes.

I had this happen the 2nd day I got my tremor home. Very distinguished noise coming from under the truck, sounds like it is rotating with the wheel or possible belt. Crawled under, nothing obvious. Still wondering if it was a wheel balancing weight hitting the caliper? Hasn't happened again so maybe it got knocked off. Tires don't feel out of balance so no idea.

nice. simple easy fix. Had a similar thing happen to my old esclade (soon to be replace with a Rapid Red Tremor this week, delivered to dealership this morning). But, not a cool as a 230 gr FMG. Just a black walnut rooling around on the roof between the roof racks.

So it drove you nuts ?

I hate the noise loose rounds make in the console...adding some kind of padding is on my list.

Totally. But, it was so loud, that i was wondering if something was seriously wrong. got out mid driveway and looked all over the truck till seeing the walnut.

Well, it was a Tremor problem of a sort. If you had an XL
with a bench seat this never woulda happened!

Some of us up to Lariats still have the bench, but could have happened on a split bench too if you keep the cordless hole puncher in one of the 2 seat storage spots.

Yes , I suspect we are not the only ones with that non-problem.

It got me too...then I remembered there were loose 308 rounds in my console...figured it out before I had to look. It's been deer season here for 2 weeks..
