This may make me sound like a dum-dum, but I don't know how.

Yes I have an AE scan tool. Do you live near me?

Have you checked the wiring where it plugs into the valve cover gasket? How rough is your truck running, and how long have you noticed you might have a problem?

I'm in Hitchcock. Yes the valve wiring ohmed out good. It still drives ok, just idles rough, down on power, bad fuel mileage. It has been this way for a while, just been reading on this site and getting more comfortable with messing with it. Would like to get it hooked up to a scan tool to know whats going on.

I'm up near Hillsboro, but know someone who MIGHT be able to help you out with a scan. I'll send him a message.

Here's a link that shows what a loose connector looks like, and has pictures of the quarter shim https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ck-shakes.html

Chris is giving you the DIY info that was created when someone didn't use these clips.

UVC clips <~~clicky-clicky

Some have found zip ties with the correct thickness work well too.
