So dropped truck off this morning for shudder issue. Had the tech drive with me and he was the first to notice it. In some of the post I have read some of you are having power issues. I have not had this yet but what I do have is a vibration that turns into a shudder, it will go away and then start all over. Tech told me they have had issues with how the tires are mounted(not sure I buy it). Made sure he wrote it up correctly on the service write up incase thus gets dragged out.

Not really what this thread is about, there are tons of different issues causing a vibration in the truck, such as drive shaft, tires, etc. Whats being discussed here is very noticeably different than just a vibration/shaking of the truck. It is much like a misfire for many of us. Just an FYI. You can find discussion about the drive shaft/tires by doing a search on here.
This thread really should have been titled "Ecoboost Engine Miss/Loss of Power" or something along hose lines. Many see "Shudder" and think it's about vibrations (tires/wheels, driveline, etc.) as you mentioned.
So it's starting to get cool in Oregon but hasn't rained yet, go figure. Won't be long to see if the $1.00 plastic deflector plate on the intercooler works ... at least it bought Ford 6 more months of not fixing their trucks.

Correct ... engine misfire/miss ...coupled with complete loss of power/fall-on-face issue for many.

Yes, before and after. But I removed it anyway because on my 2nd service visit they tried to blame ALL my problems on the CAI. Since the CAI obviously wasn't "helping" and Ford was trying to blame everything on the CAI I figured I might as well get rid of it, so I did.

At this point, I really don't care. The key for me is that this was another attempt to fix my truck that didn't work. Scanned and emailed the invoice to my lawyer with the "didn't work" report, so I am happy either way. My arbitration hearing is set for Feb 22, 2013 in Philadelphia. That should give them at least one more attempt to come up with another fix.
