Absolutely heard of and seen out of balance torque converters do exactly as you are describing. Since you just had it replaced before you picked up on the vibration that is the first place I would look. Let us know how it goes with the transmission shop?

Many online retailers and auction sites sell the interface cable that you need to accomplish your goal. Just search your favorite retail site or auction site with these terms "max385 iPad cable" and you'll find what you need.

It's your universal joints. Your universal joints have become warn and what's happening is as you accelerate its moving and the loose universal joints are moving which is causing the noise. It occurs at low speeds because of a slight wobble as speed increases the wobble goes away and so does the noise. It's best to change the font and back at the same time you can find them at your local part store starting at $19.99 each. As for your front end lubricate it real good. Hope this was helpful.

Turn signal switch needs to be checked.

A sound like this could be caused by anything that is rotating. possibilities include a bad universal joint, worn brake pads, emergency brake shoes, rust build up on brake rotor, a stone caught in between rotor and backing plate, bad axle bearings.
Need to locate area of noise first to diagnose.

Hello Carl, Yes, I have seen this. New torque converters are balanced before they leave the factory. I think yours slipped past Quality Control. Did they replace the flex plate at the same time? Flex plates are also balanced. Maybe that is your vibration. Either way, the repair shop should redo the job right for free. Good luck. Let us know.

You have to clear the codes. Go to your Ford dealer (not all can do this). The cheaper solution is go to your local auto parts store and ask them to clear the codes. It's usually free. Sometimes some codes won't come off when you use the "remove the positive cable from your battery and touch it to the negative post for about 10 seconds". Careful hear, do it right as if you get a spark you are doing something wrong. As to the auto parts store they can or should give you all the codes including the new ones as I think you didn't disconnect the battery when you you changed the sensor.

It did cause any problems on my truck. Have you tried the egr valve. Sometimes the system will give you a bad code. ??? Is your truck 4x4 drive. If so does the 4x4 in gage in 4 high or 4 low if not then it will be the purge valve. If it does in gage and the truck is running rought then try your egr valve. When was the last time you gave it a tune up?

Probably you can do it yourself, but I bet a Ford dealer's salesman can do it in a few minutes, plus they would like to show you a new one! Play their game and they may help you. Otherwise, it "should" be in the owner's manual. No manual try http://www.filepeep.com/ or: http://www.manualslib.com/

cable could be disconnected / broken at some point, or cable may have slipped in clamp. As you don't say if carb or fuel injection cant say more. Wire cable of similar thickness to cycle break / gear cables if that helps .

It will be on the passenger side of the truck in the engine. right above the battety on the fire wall. You should see the line for the heating coil. Right next to the hood hinge. Hope this fixes your problems.

Belt tensioner pulley runs about $30, I had to do the to my f150 Two years ago It is in a tight spot so take you time and work it in.

Seriously doubt it, just being a fresh oil change might in crease it a pound or two but probably not enough to see on a guage.
