Issue HELP!!!!
I just bought a 2010 F150 automatic and need some help. I am going to try to explain this as best I can.
When I take off from a stop my truck jerks once and then is fine. It makes this jerk before it shifts into 2nd.
The best way I can describe it is when you are towing something and take off from a dead stop and the load shifts. That sudden one time jerk is what I am getting all the time.
Does anyone know where I can start looking or checking or has anyone else had this problem?
Anyones help is greatly appreciated.

IS this as easy as taking the truck to a fold dealership and asking them to check out TSB's for my truck? I am new to this world so please bear with me.
I bought the truck off ebay from a BMW dealership in NJ. I live in cicninnati OH so I would have to find a local dealership I trust.
I am not sure I fully understand how these TSB's work. Is this the same as a recall and the dealerships do this for free or is this going to cost me money from the dealership?

If there is any warranty (3 yr/36k miles) left on the vehicle (or if you purchased an ESP) and the TSB applies, then the dealer should perform the TSB for free. If there isn't any warranty left, then you might have to pay to have the TSB work performed.
However, the safest way to get a TSB done is to accurately describe (and demonstrate) the TSB symptoms. If you simply walk-in and tell the dealer SM "I want TSB XX done, you might get refused."
Here's a list of TSBs: https://www.ford-trucks.com/tsb/fulltext/index.php

This sounds like the "slip yoke" bump issue that has been going around here for a while. There is a TSB and it requires the dealer to clean and repack the spline on the slip yoke. One fella here is getting anew driveshaft.
A dealer tech will have to drive it but they should know exactly what the issue is right away. This is a driveline issue and should be covered for 5yr / 60K miles.

Thanks everyone! I went to the dealership and bought all the parts. Going to do the work myself this saturday.
I don't know what it is but I like doing the work myself on these small jobs. At least this way I know nothing was over looked.
I will let everyone know if this fixed my issue!

Just wanted to let everyone know that this fixed my issue. It was completely bone dry and ended up using marine grease and not the ford grease.
Thank you everyone for your help.

The only item I bought from Ford was the clap that you can find on TSB 10-22-6. I was able to reuse the boot and the upper clamp since I never removed these two. I personally went with Marine Grease and not the ford PTFE Just because I think it will handle the wear and tear better. (Really a personal preference)
So to sum it up, one clamp from Ford and Marine Grease for local auto store.

As of right now the bump/slip is gone. I only have about 800 miles since the fix but no problems. I will let everyone know if it comes back!
Lets pray that it doesn't! haha
