Just bought an 06 F150 Triton 5.4. 172K, 4x4, 2 inch leveling kit, supercab XLT. I had a miss so I changed plugs and 1 coil pack and threw a K&N filter in it. Noticed as I was doing so, someone had changed a coil previously so there are 6 original and 2 aftermarket. I used the new style motorcraft SP-515 plugs so they won't snap, and everything seems to be fine as far as the miss is concerned.
Now I'm noticing that at idle after its warmed up, its pretty rough, almost as if its choking itself out and idle drops when hitting the brake. No idle surge or anything, just rough idle that shakes everything in the truck.
The two other things that are going on...
Noticed when I am backing out or pulling out of a parking spot and I cut the wheel hard, I get a shudder/drag, almost like 4WD is engaged, but I know it's not and I get the same type of feeling at 60-70 MPH on the highway after OD kicks in.
I know the obvious repairs would be change all coils, fuel filter, air filter, flush fluids, etc. What I want to know is if there is something else that could be causing this issue and if anyone has done any of the "obvious" stuff and found that it fixes the issue.
Any input would be grately appreciated.
