The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the cover on the rear differential rusted, causing oil to leak.

The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic where the pan that caused the leak was replaced. The failure mileage was 30,400.
The 2005 f150 supercrew has a shutter in the rear end when accelerating from a complete stop. A family friend had alerted us about Ford's service bulletin about this problem, but has not issued a recall to the best of my knowledge. Our friend, a mechanic, felt the problem were the bearings in the rear end, so he installed all new bearings, however, this has not solved the problem. My vehicle only has 51,000 miles on it and it should not have problems like this. Also, the engine has a knock in it. A local mechanic stated Ford was also aware of this problem and will not issue a recall!.
: the contact stated there was a loud roaring noise coming from rear end. The vehicle has been to three dealerships. New pinion gears, and new carriage bearings were replaced but the roaring sound persisted.
