Man I don't know where to begin! Peter is right about the plugs. About two week ago My truck was feeling lean so I took it into the dealer and they found lean codes. Prior to going to the dealership I put a new fuel filter in. They cleaned the injectors at the dealership. Away I went. I got on to the State route and it started surging, but not as bad as before. I took it back to the dealer about a week later and they put in a new fuel pump. It was much better but it still didn't feel right. Now I want a new superduty!!! Just kidding. Know I'm back in the garage but this time I'm pulling the head off of my Yamaha R-1 because I'm pissed at the truck. I'm waiting on parts for the R-1 so I say to myself I'm going to change the plugs. Now that I've got new plugs in it runs like a Lightning should. My plug readings are telling me that my intercooler is leaking now! The plugs look rich with a shine to them. I'm watching the level now. All good! Not yet!!! Take it out for a drive and now the tranny is acting up. Won't shift from 1st to 2nd under hard acceleration. The good news about the tranny is that Ford is going to give me a new one. Should be here next week sometime. You know I love this truck but this is getting a little crazy.
