I've got the same year and model truck, except my trany makes a whining noise between 40-60 mph. Ii found a video on YouTube, but it doesnt really tell you much, just shows the drive shaft while driving, and you can hear the noise.... in the comments he says it was bearing, anyone else hear anything about this? Also in my truck, it feels like something in the rearend is shifting when I step on the gas...everything seems solid though...

I'm having the same problem with my 04 f150 tranny. Just started recently, if I'm up above 40 mph and it kind of settles into gear(off throttle like you said), and say I'm going up a hill or want to get back on the gas, it feels like the tranny is slipping(has 3 slips/bumps). It's difficult to explain without actually feeling it. Took it to the shop and was told my torque converter is going out.....possibly be something you should look at? My tranny problem could be my stupidity though, I've had an edge evo programmer since april 10' and have had it set on setting 2(Towing performance) and I never tow anything, so that's probably caused havoc on my tranny.
Hope this helps

I also had a Volant CAI, which "moosed"/hummed when the engine saw any real load or at WOT. Considering that the Volants cause 04-05's to run dangerously lean......that could have contributed to some of the issues I was seeing/feeling/hearing with the truck.
This time, I'm considering getting a newer color Edge (CS or the touchscreen one...) and getting some custom tunes/gryphon setup and an enclosed type CAI converted to run with a snorkel.

I've got the exact same truck and the exact same problem!! Off the line it feels like it is slipping slightly and then cruising around 45 mph. It feels like the engine is misfiring. Tranny shop also told me around 1500 to fix it. If y'all figure out what the problem is please inform me cause im a little scared to even take mine down the interstate for fear of it goin out. Thanks for the sharing now I don't feel like.im the only one with this problem

Hey guys, alright well I took out my programmer and sold it, but still have the same old transmission problem. Took it to the shop and had the drive shaft taken out, put what's called "XG8 Teflon Lubricant" on the drive shaft and that got rid of the "feels like the rearend is shifting when I'm taking off" if that makes sense. I'm still getting the slip/bump feeling at about 40+ though, usually in 5th gear. So I took the truck back in, mechanic(good friend of mine) had a F-250(not sure what year) come in with the same feeling/problem. Guy that owns the F-250, owns his own transmission shop and had no idea what it was. They changed the torque converter and that wasn't the problem. So I'm still waiting on a solution, when I figure it out I'll make sure to post on here. Any other input will be greatly appreciated!
