Possible Shudder Problem
Hey guys,
I have an 08 F150 Supercrew KR with 100k miles on it. I bought it used at 95k miles and have noticed what I can best describe as a shudder. I have narrowed it down to it only happening when im accelerating out of overdrive (going up a hill or slight incline). It will just be clunk or two and sometimes its worse than others. I have read a ton and can't really pin point the problem. I had the transmission fluid changed last month as well. I have learned how to drive it so it doesnt happen, but would still like it to be fixed.
Thanks

You have an 08, if it is an early 08 with the black spark plug boots, it can be tricky. I would advise a Ford dealer or at least someone that has experience removing the two piece plugs. If it is a later 2008, with the brown sparkplug boots, it's a normal plug change that any good mechanic can do.

Here is an easier way to tell which plugs you have as posted by MGDfan:

Probably a misfire...had same problem a few years ago...swore it was the transmission because it wouldn't do it when the OD was turned off.
Turned out to be a bad coil on #3 cylinder...FWIW...
Dealer tried changing the transmission fluid, TSB on the valve body, replaced OD snap ring...but it didn't fix it...

Same issue i had last year (shudder on uphill or slight incline). I changed all the sparkplugs and now truck runs like a champ. Make sure you have the lisle sparkkplug removal tool when you do the job yourself. Out of 8 sparkplugs i broke 1 and the tool getthe job done yanking the broken piece out.
