Wheel Bolts Problems of Ford F-550

The contact owns a 2003 Ford f550 super duty. The dealer noticed that the lug nuts hollowed out the steel rims during a routine inspection. The three rims and rear studs of the vehicle were replaced. The current mileage was 133,000 and failure mileage was 132,000.

This is a complaint about a 2004 Ford F-550 four wheel drive with a one man aerial device installed on it. On March 8th 2007 our linemen had brought this truck into our shop to unload tools before the truck was taken to our nearest Ford dealer to have a u-joint fixed, before leaving the shop they noticed that the left rear dual was almost ready to fall off the truck. Upon further examination we discovered that all the lug nuts were either missing, broke off or finger tight. We had the truck towed to the local Ford dealer , we had to have both rims replaced, the rear hub , all the studs and wheel lug nuts replaced. The right rear dual was checked and found to be loose but no damage was found at this time. Lucky for our linemen that they were in the shop when this problem was discovered. They reported hearing some noise coming from the truck but thought it was the u-joint getting worse. We have heard of lots of problems with the Ford F-550 with rear duals and we feel this needs to be checked out more closely with Ford.

We are getting reports that Ford f550 trucks are losing their dual tires because of broken lug bolts on the rear duals. These are apparently happening on older models that have had eight bolt patterns. I am forwarding this information on behalf of several electric utilities across the country who have brought this information to my attention.
