Hey everyone, posting here so my experience may help others. I have a 2006 4.7 with 300K miles. Recently, I started to get a slight hesitation under throttle--typically 2nd and 3rd gears. It didn't happen all the time, idled perfectly, and didn't throw any codes. If on the highway and I give...

I've replaced mine twice and they both ran about $220 each.

This might be bit of an extreme, but get your hands on two trashed CV joints and take them apart so you only have the splined end parts. Replace your existing CV shafts with just these ends (so you don't lose all your diff fluid or trash your wheel bearings), and see if the vibrations go away...

You need to perform a zero point calibration. Same thing happened to me---replaced control arms and got the alignment "close enough" until I could get to a shop. During the test drive, after driving for about 1/2 mile, my VSC and traction lights came on and it was in limp mode....performance...

60K miles in 12 months? Holy crap.

Don't spend the $100+ dollars on a new actuator. It's just the motor (most times) in the actuator that has gone bad. You can get replacement motors online for $10.

I don't know exactly what the fuel pressure is supposed to be, but yours certainly seem low (as a previous poster stated). Does your scan tool show fuel trims? If it does, I bet it'll show you're running lean (ECU is adding extra fuel). You're probably right on the verge of it not been lean...

Sounds like it's in limp mode. I bet your check engine light is on for the air injection system. Search the forums for it...there are no less than 1 million threads about it. Sounds like a bypass kit is in your future.

Finally, someone that actually posts back to the forum what their fix was. Cookies for you.

Penetrating oil, air hammers, hand grenades....it doesn't matter, you're not going to get it loose. Save yourself a lot of time and effort and just cut it out.
