Brakes worked on- Now this...
So I took my truck in today for a sticking caliper on the drivers side and here's what I got back. Truck has a horrible rattle/grinding feel coming through the floor boards at various rpms. Happens whether I'm stopped or moving, so I know it is following the rpms. When I shut off the engine, it stops as well. Also, truck has a good stumble off idle, and clears up above 1500 rpm or so. What the heck could they have touched near the brakes that would have anything to do with this?? Here's the only thing I can think of- Maybe they used a lift and hit my exhaust and bent it/ misaligned it and it is rubbing somewhere? Only thing is I checked, and it's fine. But that does not account for the off-idle stumble... Help please before I go in there and tear someone a new one...

I would take it back to them immediately ,and ask them what did they do ? When ever I work on someones vehicle I usually take for a test drive before and after they should have known something wasn't right.

Yeah, I picked up on that. I have 2 more black originals from Ford from awhile back, so once she cools off a bit I'll throw it in. I'll update after and I will check the cylinder % after as well to be sure.
Thanks for the help,

It worked!!! I switched out the grey for my old black spare and it started great, idle is smooth. I cant believe it gave me all those symptoms all of the sudden, without any warning. Oh, and the rotational percentages, all at 0.0%. Thanks,

Oh boy, I hate to report back like this but.... It started acting up again. I changed out the cps to yet another black one and this time it didn't go away. I did some hunting around the engine and found my ICP sensor to be bad (oil pouring out the top) so I changed that out. Ouch about $170 from dealer. PLugged it in and..truck still runs bad. Pulled valve covers off, torqued injectors, checked wiring harness, cleaned everything up, changed oil, changed fuel filter. Still there. It has like a miss at around 1000 rpm. It goes away above and below that. But at 1000, it shakes and kinda stumbles a little. What can I check now? Here's the other thing, when I pull the connector off of the icp, it gets better. I think that makes the pcm go into full pressure mode though right? Making it run very smooth? I'm quickly getting over my head so any help is appreciated.
