2004 F150 5.4 Slipping between 1200RPM and 2200RPm
Hey guys, I have an 04 Ford F150 with the 5.4L 3v. I have recently started having an issue with the truck feeling like it is slipping. It does it through all speeds, and it does it between 1200 RPM and 2200 RPM. Usually under a load. It also won't do it until it gets good and hot; after 20 min of driving. It won't do it with the overdrive off.
I was having the issue with the truck bucking under a load between 45mph and 55mph about 8,000 miles ago. SO I replaced my overdive servo and retaining clip. Cleaned up the valve body and replaced filter and fluids. That didn't fix it, so I replaced all 8 plugs. That fixed the problem. Now, 8,000 miles later it started doing something similar. So I thought automatically that it was my coil packs, since it doesn't do it until it heats up. I replaced all 8 and it is still doing the same thing.
Do any of you have any idea what could be going wrong? I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

So mine has been doing this for about 3 months, same speed and RPM as you and only when I try to accelerate a little bit without it downshifting. It kicks rapidly when I give it gas. Doesn't do it from a start, when it downshifts, or at higher RPMs. I have been looking into having my transmission serviced thinking it was most likely the problem even though my fluid is clean (my pan leaks and needs a new seal but fluid level is still good).
You said you changed your plugs and that solved it for a bit? It's been a while since I did mine, maybe that could be it. I have no codes showing when I run a check so I didn't think about the plugs or coils.

I would call mine more of a shutter now. It has gotten worse and now will do it after about 15 minutes of driving. I have replaced plugs again and coil packs. I also added "shutter fix". I just recently changed the tranny fluid and filter about 10,000 miles ago. I feel mine from about 35mph and up. It feels like I'm running over a cattle guard. I guess I'm getting ready to replace the torque converter now. Does anyone know the stock stall on my tranny?

I changed my plugs last night as my first step to fix this problem. Well on my drive home with my custom tunes taken out and the truck returned to stock my stutter was gone! I couldn't get it to do it once! I still have 1/4 tank of 93 in it so when that runs out I'll put 87 back in and see if that makes a difference. Some of my plugs were definitely worn out.
Here is a used vs new:
It would also appear I may have some buildup in some of the cylinders.
