What kind of truck? Year?

I'm currently on my third transmission at 180k miles, and i don't really tow that heavy with it. These trucks are hard on the transmission.

What exactly do you mean by hops?

Cam position sensor can cause this. Should be around 25 bucks from the Ford dealer. Use Motorcraft or IH only.

^^^ this was my first thought. Mine did something very similar, and it was the cam sensor. As stated, OEM or IH only

The stars aligned just right when mine did it the first time, because it did it right when I sneezed so I thought I caused it. Then 2 weeks later it did it again. The cam sensor can be somewhat finicky. If you change and it does it again try Adam's suggestion of pulling the chip. The connection could be loose, causing intermittent problems.

mine might be doing the same thing... But mine only happens under acceleration. Boost and RPM crater, and then pop back up like nothing happened. I'll toss the IH CPS in tonight and see if that fixes it. Thanks guys!
