Vibration when accelerating
Got a 95 f150 5.8l I'm having vibration in the front but it happens when I accelerate it will shake real bad and as I get faster it the shaking calms down but still had a steady shake I was told it could be my tires from the truck sitting for a few years and the tires may have developed flat spots and I was also told could be my torque converter going bad I mean it does seem like it's not shifting on time but when it does shift that's when my bad shaking starts any ideas?

If your tires are radial tires then they don't really develop flat spots. The old bias ply tires did that, radials, not so much. It could be something as simple as tire balance. However they generally get worse the higher the speed. I would look at your steering components. Tie rods, ball joints etc.

I should say my previous post was from 1-6-2005 from another member. I just wanted to list it again as a possible tip.
Also, I added LubeGard 62005 and this had in the past made a 70% improvement in my automatic transmission. Sadly, the truck started having the same bad symptoms about 4 years later, I added another bottle, and it did NOT seem to make much of a difference the second time using it. But the LubeGard definitely made a distinct difference (in a positive way) when I FIRST used it.
