transmission bucking
Has anyone here experienced or noticed that their vehicles with the torq shift tranny acting funny with the cruise control on? What I'm asking is when I have my cruise on at about 42 mph, and the tranny goes into final overdrive the truck sometimes starts to buck and jerk, while doing this the tach is going form about 1200 rpm to 1600 rpm. Kinda like searching for the right gear. Ive taken it to ford but without a CODE they say everything checks out ok. Im at a loss, its been there to the dealer 3 times with the same result. Ive asked them to even run an engine missfire test, that also comes back clean. PLEASE HELP. THANKS

It could be the MLPS / DTR Sensor in failing or out of adustment. I had a similar problem after replacing my transmission and after adjusting the sensor it imporved.

Here is a link to some information on the issue. Be warned that checking the adjustment with a multi-meter is not easy and darn near impossible on a 4x4.
There is a tool for the adjustment, but it can be expensive.

I've heard of this problem with a lot of fords. Most commonly with vehicles under 5000 miles, with the cruise control on going up or down a hill. If this sounds like your problem, its probably your computer still in its "learning mode" trying to learn your driving style, it should go away after 5000 miles.
