2005 f250 jerks and hesitates

A failing transmission or an engine misfire.

When does it jerk , all speeds or under a steady load ? going up a hill ? Would you consider it a misfire ? do you know what a misfire feels like ? Do you have a check engine light on or flashing ? Does your vehicle have coil on plug ignition ?

You may need a tune up . When was the last time you changed plug wires and had a decent tune up that will cause a vehicle to jerk when reaching higher gears the more strain on the engine the more it will jerk!!!

Could be a number of issues.

1. Fuel filter a clogged fuel filter will cause restriction in the lines and starve a vehicle for fuel causing hesitation.
2. a weak fuel pump if your fuel pump is going sometimes it can not supply the proper fuel and pressure.
3. water in your gas can cause this as well depending on how long you have had this problem especially if it started right after you filled your tank.
4. Spark plugs and wires basically a tune up.

hope this helps some.

have your cat convertor checked at exhaust shop for free,looks like it is partially clogged,or it can be your TPS(throttle position sensor)

sounds like fuel related, as no codes show back to old skool,check all air intake/vacuum hosses for condition check for blockage in main air intake hose/pipe check for fuel pressure and injector spray pattern, check they color of deposits on the spark plugs , check exhaust is not blocked ,try this lot then let me know how your getting on

That is the speed when it would normally shift into overdrive or the torque converter would go into lockup.
It is also when the engine would be working hard and a slight miss could be magnified.
You may want to have a transmission shop test drive it for their opinion.

I would assume that whom ever you went to,
didn't even test drive the car.

You never leave a vehicle at a shop,that you
do not go for a test drive, with you driving,you can switch
on the way back to the shop

There a too many possible things to check & test to
write a book on here

The TPS Sensor
The Egr Valve
Ignition Misfires
Fuel Pressure Issues

That is just a few common things

You know there is a problem
You also know that being told they could not find
anything is unacceptable

It is especially hard the last 20 years, and very difficult to find
a repair shop & even a dealer sometimes, that is
knowledgeable enough or willing to spend time
to help you

Why?

Takes too long

Costs you too much

The shop looses money,as the
quick jobs keep the money coming
in ,so they stay in business,barely

how long has it been since you replaced plugs,wires,cap and rotor?also check the condition of your trans. fluid

tcc sylinoid is bad go to autozone let them check with there computer its free to check it same problem for lots of 04 05 impalla andmonty owners
