| Service Performed: |
A 65 mph vibration still existed after match-mounting and balancing tires to within normal Ford road force specs. Matt persisted and got replacement tires from Goodyear that solved that problem. I doubt other dealerships would have persevered and resolved the problem.

| Evaluation of Service Performed: | I�ve been in auto-related businesses for over 40 years and in my experience the quality of service at Gator stands out. Matt Cullen personally guided the efforts for this difficult-to-solve vibration issue on a new F53 chassis RV | ||

| Work Done on: |
Class A - Gasoline
|
||
| Service Performed: |
Vibrations at 35-45 and another at 65 mph.
Travis isolated the worst vibrations via an EVA test on the chassis, pulled all 6 wheels and indexed the ones that were over-spec. When two tires (Goodyear 19.5� 70 series) still were out of spec, he replaced them, checked to make sure the new ones were within spec. and balanced all 6 tires. On the drive home I was pleased to see that both vibrations were significantly reduced. Later, I asked Manny and Travis what else they�d recommend to more fully eliminate the vibration. They checked with Goodyear and Ford and were given the answer that I should put down the coach jacks when at rest to reduce flat-spotting, and that the tires will flat-spot less as they age. I�ve written articles on both tires and balancing so I�m suspicious of the latter answer, but I appreciate that Manny and Travis took the time to further consult with Goodyear and Ford. (By comparison, I had to take my previous new RV back to the dealer, Lazy Days, six times for one significant low speed vibration and they never fixed it.) |
||
| Evaluation of Service Performed: | Very good. They are only allowed to bring tires up to Ford/Goodyear specs for road-force. Even their good equipment (e.g. Hunter GSP 9700) is not perfect for truck tires. | ||
| Value of Service: | Very Good | ||

Class A - Gasoline

| Service Performed: | My new RV had two issues with the F53 chassis: an engine noise and two separate road vibrations. Although the engine noise emanated from the hydrovac brake booster, the Gator tech, Travis diagnosed it as a defective power steering pump and replacing the pump greatly reduced the noise. (Our RV salesman Harry at Harberson, said the noise was the transmission and it was normal. NOT.) | ||
