It's a cheap & easy thing to rule out...I have been having this exact same issue for sometime. Called the dealer when I had 60,200 miles on the Ranger. Was told out of warranty so it will cost me.
Brought it in yesterday and was told it is my torque converter and some other part about cleaning valves when they are in there. They said the truck threw all kinds of codes at them when hooked up. $3500 to fix but Ford will pick up $2,000 of the repair.
i did not see the trouble codes that the diagnostics spot out.
Am I being misled? I asked the dealership what happens if this doesn’t fix the issue? Am I out $1500. Was told they promised this was the issue and it would be fixed when I got it back.
I came back from the dealer and posted my problem. Someone directed me to this thread and I have to believe the EGR valve must be the problem as all the others symptoms are exactly like mine. Chugging/bucking. Mostly at around 25 mph and the truck is always in 7th gear. When I lightly apply throttle, truck bucks.
Suggestions on next steps? Go back to the dealer (who I like by the way) and ask to see the codes? Tell them to replace the EGR valve and we go from there or find the part myself and replace myself and then go down to the dealer and show them the fix and this thread.
Thanks so much for all the contributors on this thread. I was convinced it was a drivetrain issue of some type but not anymore.
