06 F350 w/ 8000 miles, and have noticed the surging. Not near as bad as my 04 was, but I can see the tach move a little. I had an MBRP cat back, no muffler put on, but I am pretty sure I noticed it before that. My 04 started surging right after I changed its exhaust, and Ford made it stop, don't remember how. Mine is pretty bad while in tow haul, and in 1st hear with higher RPM 2500 or so right before it shifts. I had it in to ford to fix a leaky moonroof, and they checked it and said it was normal, but it jerks so bad off roading could be interesting. I will take mine to a different smaller town dealer, where I bought it in a month or two when I am not as busy. Let me know if you figure anything out. Levi

Wonder if this is why Ford says they can void warranty. Use of chips and exhaust mods.

Surging 6.0

I know this is a ridiculously old post but I was wanting to know if you ever found the reason your 6.0 Powerstroke was surging. I have an 03 6.0 and it randomly started surging EXACTLY like you described.

holy old thread!!! I never figured out why it was doing it? I had the truck for 60,000 miles and traded it in, it never got any worse or better...and it only did it every once in a while.

I don't know about the OP, but my surgeing and stalling was the ICP Pig tail it made the truck and some scan gauge values go nuts to read, and it was a very frustrating source to find, I replaced the ICP no change went for the pig tail BAM ,The truck has been running Flawless every since.
