I've taken delivery of my 3rd E250 cargo van. It has a strong vibration starting at about 35/40 mph and continues on till at least 70 mph. Strongest at 50/55 mph. My 2000 had the same problem and the dealer and Ford replaced it with a 2001 because they could not find the problem. The 2001 had the same vibration, but it was slight. This new van is the worst. I've read old postings here and on other sites and have seen the same problem listed. But no answer. The tires are Hankook, very hard and terrible in wet. They have been balanced twice, but not checked for out of round. Now the dealer wants to swap tires and wheels from another truck and see if that works. I can feel the vibration in the steering wheel, the seat, and gas pedal. The sound is also there and makes one feel like they have to pop their ears. In drive or overdrive makes no difference. Stronger with pressure on the gas. Seems to come on like a switch with a shift I feel, but it's not a gear shift. Very hard to analyse. Feels like driving on fine washboard. This is a NEW van. What's going on? Any help out there?
