Will be taking back to dealer at end of season and before warr. is expired. At least it will be on record as an issue should further problems (leaks) pop up.

Paul M, still waiting to hear back from dealer. I will call tomorrow and see where we stand. I'll keep you posted.

Glide driver, the dealer could not duplicate the TV interference when in the shop. Will check it out during our upcoming trip this weekend. I'll keep you posted

Paul, the dealer is still waiting to hear back from the factory rep about the wall. He said they are backed up since Jack left. Im going to pick it up tomorrow and hope to get more info then. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks, Top Gunz. Cant wait to here how they propose to fix such an issue. Looks like we have the same trucks also. Have you had any work done on your engine. How do you like the way it tows the 340 Rk ?

I haven't had any work done on the truck engine. Just added air lift to rear end. It pulls fine, however, when the wind is blowing hard I wish I had the F350 with DRW.

Top Gunz. My 2007 with about 69,000 had the head gasket problem. I did have the extended warranty so the $8000 job only cost me my deductable ($100) plus the ARP stud kit. Runs good now. I sometimes wish I had a DRW more for weight though. Next one. They say to look for a late model 2011 or newer. Still worried about this wall movement but I don't plan on losing a season of use by taking it in now. Will wait till late sept then let them have it for the winter or as long as it takes.

Paul M. I agree, not worth loosing time during the camping season. I did have to drop mine back off at the dealer for the landing leg issue. As soon as they get the parts from FR they can do the work. Do you have the 6.7L or the 6.0L engine? I have the 6.0 and luckily haven't had those or any other issues. I hear a lot of bad things about the 6.0 and mostly good about the 6.7. What engine does the 2011 have?

[Paul M]

Top Gunz, I have the 6.0 I hear the 2011 with 6.7 or newer is the way to go. I told my mechanic there were alot of 08's for sale and he said stay away. FWIW

Hi Top Gunz,
I am having the same problem with my 14 340rk. What have you found out causing this problem. Purchased my unit used. One dealer said the motors driving the slide are not synchronized. they said to bring unit in 18 inches and then extend back out. Do this 3 times and that will put in sync. What do you think. Thanks...John

Hi Folks, we have a 2017 340rk. The island table is on casters and pulls out very smooth. We pull it with 06 f-350 with the 6.0. Like an arrow shout out of the bow! Very good ride and no bounce at all, also easy to stop. Only had the FICA module replaced and I change the oil regularly. Truck has 110,000. Ford won't issue another warranty policy.
