What could it be?
My truck (2006 F250 w/ manual tranny) is having some issue.......it shakes/hesitates (don't know what word to use) when accelerating. It seems to do it around 1500-2000 RPM's. Instead of the RPM's going up smoothly, they jump up in little bursts. It doesn't seem to have a lack of power, and when it starts doing it, I can give it more throttle and it will stop. Also, it's really bad when I first start the truck and it hasn't warmed up yet. At first it would only do it when it wasn't warmed up or going up a hill, but now it does it pretty much all the time. At first I thought it was a tranny issue b/c it started doing it right after I changed the tranny fluid (also did fuel filters and oil). I ended up changing it again to see if that would correct the problem, but it didn't. I also thought it could be the clutch, but I don't think it is anymore. Possibly EGR sticking? What do you guys think?
Thanks

try unpluging the EGR with the key off, and in your pocket when you unplug it. That will keep the EGR from opening. See if that helps any

its possible but why did the straight pipe cause the injector to fail? um it didnt and if they say it did find a new dealer.
the dealer can only justify replacing the parts that are bad/failing. ford has REALLY tightned up on warranty money. we are getting hit with atleast 2500 a month in chargebacks because ford says we are overrepairing.
