something wrong with my truck :( (UPDATE!!!)
Ok guys i have an 04 f250 5.4 4x4 250k miles+ ...the truck has been acting weird lately. I has 0 power...i went to pass an 18 wheeler today at about 15 mph and gave it about half throttle...well it held first gear till about 5 grand then slammed into 2nd...It just has 0 umph ... it wont even consistanly pick up speed at half throttle or over..the rpms will stop ...then pick up...then stop...it always accelerated smoothly....it is bogging really bad...it was downshifting into 3rd today on little overpass hills that it NEVER does that on...something is telling me torque converter 
...any help is GREATLY appreciated. BTW no codes and no flashing overdrive light

That seems to be a common problem with the K&N. I bought a drop-in new (so factory oiled) and it gunked up my MAF sensor.. Needless to say I got rid of it and went to paper Wix filter. I'll never use one again.
Good luck with this one though.
