I have a 2014 with 112k on it I bought last year with 101k. I’m unsure of the maintenance history as I bought it from a police department. It is a regular XLT that never had lights or sirens in it. I assume being a large department they had a decent fleet maintenance program but who knows.
This week I went on a 1200 mile trip and it felt like while driving over long steep grades at highway speed (45-60) the truck would almost drop out of gear and go right back in momenterially. Putting it in tow/haul greatly reduces or eliminates the issue.
I just pulled the codes with Forscan lite (no laptop). It shows a minor misfire. Would that cause this? Should I just do plugs to start or is their more I should be doing? Also any advice on the plugs? The look straightforward enough. Do they still like to snap off in the head or did ford fix this by 2014?
Anything else I should be looking at?
Thanks for any advice.
