Transmission Shutter.
I have a F350 automatic 6 liter 2003 4x4. The issue is a shutter when the truck is in 5th gear Overdrive or 6th gear (not to sure) and is at 2500 rpms at about 80km if I slow down it stops or if I pass 80km it stops. It does not happen when the truck is in tow mode. Any ideas?

It would be good to get your hands on a scan tool. Forscan app and a obd adapter that works with your smartphone is fine and cheap.
Then look for codes and monitor inputs.
Our 6.0 had a similar issue when we got it. Also thought it was a transmission issue, but it was a weak injector causing a misfire that was most noticeable under load at lower rpm.

Forscan is a smartphone or tablet app.
not sure where you can buy an obd adapter other than online. Need either WiFi or Bluetooth depending on your phone. I got mine through Amazon.
Uses WiFi because I have an Apple product.
App is $5, adapters vary in price but can be had for $30-$50 range

Most of the auto parts store scan tools will not
show you the more advanced codes With the
exception of some of the OBD2 Dawn goals with
the smart phone apps you’re going to need
something along the lines of a snap on tool or a
Ford VCM2 running IDS.

Your not going find any scan tool at a local part's store that compares to Forscan and a OBD adapter. Listen to these guys, they know what their talking about and freely give you good advice.
