I just bought a 2006 f-150 with the 5.4. When i go to pass somebody or come out of a corner and the transmission is shifting it seems to hesitate for a second then takes off. Was just wondering if anybody has had that problem. Thanks

Any vibration??? Mine just got out of the transmission shop with a rebuilt tranny... Hesitation with vibration gettin into passing gear on the hwy...

Good luck!

No vibration. I work for John Deere and we are always having troubles with payloads in computers and having to update them. It just seems like it might be a programming issue. Not sure though. It's only got 27000 miles on it

Yes, I have the same problem with the same year and engine. It just feels sluggish and then it kicks in

Maybe it is just something that is normal. Was just curious. thanx

I have a '06 5.4 and mine does the same thing. It's not normal and I believe it's .4 of an hour at the dealer to program it back to normal.
I haven't had time to do it yet though.

I have an 07 with the same thing. It's not bad but annoying. I had my mechanic look it up last week for a service bulletin but we didn't come up with anything. Keep me posted if anyone finds something.

I have the same issue and have been told by several different people thats it's due to the drive by wire system . I had my ecm reflashed and seem to help but it;s still noticable.

X2 on the drive by wire, it definitely took getting used to.

when im driving down the road at about 30mph, the engine will rev like its in neutral and then shift into the next gear. this isnt the same thing being talked about here is it?
