If I do feel a jolt from the rear what does that mean. Transmission problem. Did try this no jolt from rear. Just forward movement.802Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rear Jolt on 2017 Ford E450 V10 with only 6,300 miles

Did this happen as your started to move forward from a dead stop ? Was it due to movement ? I had been stopped for a few seconds when I felt the jolt. The first jolt was very light the second was a bit harder. Checked compartments nothing loose. I do have a weber bbq table that may have moved forward and hit the spare tire, not sure this would cause a jolt from the rear as the table is not very heavy.492Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rear Jolt on 2017 Ford E450 V10 with only 6,300 miles

However there’s a very low likelihood that it’s something like that if it handles fine on the road and then has a little indeterminate thump while stopped. Period. OP hasn’t been great about replying or adding to the thread. Repeatability is a big part of diagnosis and so far it appears to have happened only twice, yet hard to believe the rig only stopped twice in the last however many miles. Another suggestion besides manually downshifting if it’s repeatable at multiple stops. (This can literally be done at low speeds in their subdivision or a desolate road ) is kick it into neutral before coming to a stop and see if the thump goes away. I had my brother in law go under the motorhome to check on things he did not find anything that looked like it might cause the jolt from rear. I had stopped more than twice and it did only happen twice. On the way home there was no incidents where it jolted from the rear.492Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rear Jolt on 2017 Ford E450 V10 with only 6,300 miles

On my last trip I was at the stop light about 1/4 mile from home. I felt a slight jolt from the rear of the motorhome. I had thought someone had hit me from behind as cars were trying to pass around me. Stopped and checked for any damage but none. As I drove about an hour I was stopped at a left hand turn lane I felt the jolt again but a little stronger this time. On the drive home about an hour trip there was no jolts. What could of caused the jolts from the rear of the class c motorhome.5.7KViews0likes44Comments
