The engine runs fine, nice and smooth UNTIL it is WET., It will buck and hesitate, never stalling completely but enough that a BANG can be felt when the engine hesitates enough to twist the engine on its mounts (it actually broke a mount). This MOSTLY occurs at any speed in any gear, with or without o/d selected, in 2wd or 4wd if it is RAINING, MISTY or SNOWING. It will occur all winter from first snow till last wet if off the road. I have replaced the wires, the plugs, the ignition module, the MAF the EGR, I have searched the internet and every forum I could find. It is hard on the vehicle (note the broken engine mount) and on me since I have no confidence in the truck. I bought the truck in the spring of 07 with 190000 km on it in Winnipeg Canada and it ran fine till the fall (then the rain/mist/snow/cold began) and its been doing it since. Ford can't find a fault and just wants to throw parts at it; my private shop does the same... IF ANYONE KNOWS, REALLY KNOWS WHAT THIS IS PLEASE POST.
