light throttle bucking problem

Hey everyone,
Brand new to the forum. I need help diagnosing a problem with my 2000 Excursion v10. A vibration started about 3 months ago and I've been replacing parts since trying to solve this problem. Upon acceleration, light throttle, and mild braking the excursion vibrates extensively. So far I have replaced all four rotors and pads, shocks, steering components, had a diagnostic test done, replaced all spark plugs and two coil packs, and u-joints. The vibration has gotten worse and the engine now seems to run rougher. Please help.

I would replace the other 8 coil packs and make sure the boots on ALL of them are new.

However, since your truck vibrates at both acceleration and DEcelleration then I'd look further into tire balance, wheel run-out issues & other rotating driveline components.

Might wanna inspect all the engine and transmission mounts, too.

Where do you feel the vibration? Steering wheel etc?

The problem was severe today. Tried to accelerater and the whole vehicle started shaking. Let off the throttle and it calmed down, however it shudders really bad now at all speeds.

A bad catalytic converter can give you a problem on light acceleration. Do you smell sulfer out back? It could be two problems you are having. Did you try shifting into neutral on deceleration to see if you have the vibration?

cashed in a favor from the local ford dealer and found out #1,2,9 COP were bad. (those things aren't cheap). decided to have all of them replaced since the vehicle has 130,000 miles.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Now I know where to go to find answers.
