I need engine help. PDQ
I realize that the following information may not be as detailed as some would like, but:
My 2005 QC 4x4 4.7 (non HO) with approx 55,000 miles, has developed a mind of it's own!
I am experiencing noticeable changes in engine RPM's, throttle response, and more harsh shifting points, with and without direct foot-to-pedal input. This is very frustrating! Just coasting, where speed limits/grade/traffic/etc permit, I can hear and feel the engine revving or slugging, randomly. It's not even remotely drastic enough to cause a collision, but something is definitely wrong.
Points of interest:
A> This problem has been present for approximately 1(one) month, with no apparent cause.
B> I have been using Royal Purple for over a year, with more than adequate oil changes (by frequency, mileage, and driving conditions).
C> I use the same 87octane gas from the same stations(QT-KCMO), that I have been using for over 2 years.
D> My driving habits (very conservative) have not changed.
E> I changed to properly gapped Autolite's (3923's I think) about 6 months ago, with no initial or noticeable changes in performance/mileage. (pro or con)
F> I have made no other mod's or changes.
G> I am not covered under any warranties or maintenance programs.
WTF is wrong with my truck?
How do I fix it?
