In march I bought a 2001 F-150. It had 113k on it. Now at about 114.5k when you put on the brakes, the truck vibrates. I have been told that that was the rotors. Then, today, as I am giving it some gas it jumps up to 4000 RPM then goes make down. What should I do? Does this mean the truck is going down hill? Should I try and sell it?

 

Hello Manning:

Thank you
Cindy

 

Rotors are the most likely cause of braking vibrations. Transmission issues can cause abnormal increases in engine speed. It would depend on how aggressively you were accelerating. It might be normal.

 

Hello:

Can Rotors cause front wheel suspension issues?

thank you

 

Normally ,,,, I would say no,,,, Is there some special reason you are asking?
