    Truck is a 2005 fx4 5.4 with 115000. I have noticed lately that it misses when in overdrive maybe its not a true miss but kinda chugging or slightly jerking a little but not bad. Where do i begin to determine what it is. Recently did oil change,sea foamed,fuel filter,air fliter,changed the tranny fluid in the pan only. Any advice

    Yup...I have had it happen that way before....You can start the truck and let it idle then unplug each cop one at a time and listen/feel for a change in the engines idle ....if there is no change when you unplug one thats the bad one. Text me if you need anything else.
