Hey Jimbo, unfortunately its still there. Its barely noticeable, just a slightly rough idle and only when in park. Doesn't do it when in gear, sitting at a stoplight,etc. and no hesitation/stumble issues during acceleration. Like I said, my 98 did same thing entire time I owned it so guess I'm kinda used to it. I didn't buy the 98 new. My 05 is my 1st brand new truck, so I expected perfection. LOL! Hey..we can dream,rite? Other than that slight issue, it runs great. Good luck.

i ran a 24 on my old 2005 2wd the tire measured out right at 34 inches, as long as the wheel has the correct offset they will not rub, the rear shackle drop kit makes them look great level. as far as the hickups on your truck, my o5 did it also, all ford did was flash the PCM and walla, all better.

Thanks stix.

Mike, thanks for the info on the wheels I paid for the set of 22's and just waiting for them to be shipped to me (their on another Island) I'll let you guys know how it goes, it might take a little while to put on since it'll cost me a little coin for the dealer to install the tire pressue sensors on the 22's, you know just for the dam sensor band it's $54 each, then to recalibrate and labor holy sh*t, you know with it being close to x-mas, need the $$$, will see though.

Happy Holidays,
Jimbo

i had my tire pressure sensor put on the new wheels at discount tire, a little cheaper but not by to much. they did honor the waranty also.

Well today I noticed that stumbling again and a couple of times a little more prononuced than usual, I guess back to the stealer I go and see what they got to say this time. This issue really bugs me cause other than that, I really love this truck, best all around truck I've had.

Aloha,
Jimbo
