Hi just bought a 2006 f150 king ranch and had noticed just the other day that when going from a stop to accelerating that there is a hesitation but has more less like a shake to it, it would be something you would find moreless in a manual when grinding gear but only does it for a few seconds then is good after that doesn't occur anytime after while drive just when going from a stop, had seen one post about it being some pins connected to the drive shaft that needs to be oiled when maintenced regularly but not sure if that would be the problem in this case?

do you mean Pinion bearing ?

Two piece drive shaft? May need to lube the splines.

I would think that would cause a clunk... not a shutter. won't hurt to lube it up..

Yeah the pinion bearing was what I meant to say lol, or could it be a early sign of the torque converter but the only thing with that is it doesn't do it at speeds at 45mph only at a takeoff

look at the pinion seal...sometimes they will start to leak as the bearing goes bad..

yeah going to get a oil change done, and get them to change the oil in the rear diff so then they can grease the pinion and hopefully it fixes it if not thinking it can be something to do with the tires considering there the 20" king ranch tires

Could it be a misfire? I had a bad coil/plug that gave a good shutter when accelerating. I sincerely thought is was the transmission.

im not sure, the only thing with it being a misfire is that it would do it through different gears and speeds, and there are no codes coming into the system, but going to change the plugs soon, checked the air filter the other day and from seeing that im gessing the plugs havent been changed in a while

Braidyn23

but with that being said what would be a good set of plugs to run in the 5.4 3v herd that the e3 are ****e and that that motor craft oem plugs give basic performance.
