IMO running heavier oil or adding some kind of additive to the oil is only a band aid and does not address the root cause of the problem.

let me just say the new ones look and sound 1000x times better!

but now my truck has no misfire issue and no ticking noise what so ever!! Bad news though...while im driving on the freeway over 60mph and cruising and when i press on the gas a little i feel the engine shaking really bad and it makes the whole truck shake basically but when i either let go of the gas or press on it a little more it goes away. i havent had a chance to take a look at it or ask my dad because havent had time but i was wondering if anyone else has that problem or might know what its from?

side note: earlier today i called my buddy that has a couple fords also (Che) from this forum also....he said its bronco and 06 F150 have that same problem but never cared to fix it....but anyhow anyone might know what its from?

Ford dealers are not qualified to deal with this timing issue !! They just simply don't know how to fix a crappy motor they created !! That was told to me by a ford mechanic !!

Check your heads and cams for damage thats what is also causing the rattling after doing everything to your motor . Take off thge top pans and check the heads and cams for damage !!!!!! You'll be surprised !!

I had the same shake. I replaced the plugs and all better.
