This is a proble with all solid front axle trucks.
Sorry but Ford and Dodge put about the cheapest parts they can into the front end of these trucks including tires.
Powerstroke.com has a vid on it and really myself and a lot of owners all the way back to 1999 just replace the entire front end with quality aftermarket parts from tie rods to shocks, steering stabilizers and upgraded tires to name but a few. The junk Ford puts on wears out before you know it. Itès not a p^roblem with the truck, it is a problem with the junk parts Ford puts in them when new or doing service.
GM trucks do it too, as do Toyota trucks. A quick Google search yields endless reading. They can do it when everything is tight, even when brand new. I even had a new Toyota 2WD truck do it so it's not even limited to live axle systems.
The real problem is no one knows what the real problem is. Many different parts or tires can cause or cure it on their own. It's not isolated to any one part.
