I have a 2018 f150 diesel just turned 5000 km and everything I drive the truck after it has been sitting it misses/ cuts the engine in the 2-3 shift .. acts like engine cuts.. anyone else experience this ? It was fine until about weekend ago ..
It's not a wide open shift it's just a normal 1/4 throttle when it happens..

Mine does that occasionally. It's very odd but doesn't happen very often so I haven't bothered taking it to the dealer. Just after sitting, right? Not after it's warmed up?

Mine never does a 2-3 shift, it always goes 1-3 unless i'm in tow-haul mode. Sometimes I get this on the 3-4 shift on the first shift of the day, and then it's ok from there. I had a 17 F350 that did this as well. I think it happens when the trans is cold, probably a software glitch.

I hope ford comes out with a better shift strategy for these soon.

Same here.

Complain to dealer. There are updated calibrations they will install thru IDS. PCM and TCM updates.

 

[Dwayne Willaert]

yes only when the truck has been sitting for couple hours or more

Mine did that as you described after sitting or the first shift of the day. However, I havent noticed it since the egr recall was done.

Because with EGR recall there was also a new PCM and TCM flash. Like I said, take it in and complain, there are even newer calibration that would be much smoother and better power!

I have a 2018 King Ranch with 3.55 and 3.0. I was having a dead spot at times under light acceleration. When I brought to the dealer to have the GPS and Nav system fixed I mentioned the flat spot. The service advisor was aware of it and did a PCM reflash. Have driven 3,000 miles since and all is normal. Bring to dealer they know about it but no recall.

Great to hear Bob! I have the official Ford IDS/FDRS computer now if anyone needs any help!
