F-450

  • 118,002 miles
The tire on my truck kept leaking air down over a whole day. I would refill with air the next morning and would try and find where the leak was. Could not find any whole in the tire. When the service station took the wheel off the truck and put air into the tire we could hear air leaking out. We then located a crack in the aluminum wheel. We then located a second crack in the aluminum wheel. We then contacted a junk yard ( D&D, newcomers) about purchasing a used aluminum wheel Ford part # F 81A1007gb, both said that they do not sell this used wheel due to a manufacturing defect. We they ask if we could purchase a refurbished aluminum wheel and both again said that no one would refurbish the Ford part due to defect. I have contacted Ford Motor Company and the local Ford dealer hagerstown Ford service manager tim rowe and they said that they know of no defect. We replaced the aluminum wheel with a new Ford aluminum wheel part # 4C3Z1007kacp. I own a 99 Ford F-350 dual wheel truck 4X6.
