Default 2004 5.4 skips at 50 mph

2004 FX4 5.4 90K miles

I just bolted on a flowmaster exhaust last week, now I'm getting a rough jumping/missing at about 50 mph. Jumps and bucks like hell.

Did I create an exhaust leak which might create this condition? Just a coincidence?

I've searched this forum and have some things to check out, but the exhaust is the only thing I've changed.

Would appreciate any input.

Thanks! Jim

Sounds like you need to change your spark plus.

I've been looking into a spark plug change.
Would this be a symptom of bad plug or plugs?
I track gas mileage, but I've only had the truck for a month so I can't detect any downward trend.

Thanks! Jim

Make sure you look up TSB 08-7-6 before attempting the plug change.
