UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't the battery/ computer relearning that was the problem; it was my spark plugs going bad. I replaced my stock platinum plugs with NGK Iridium Ix plugs and WOW! my truck runs perfect again! This was my first plug change and I wasn't going to do them for another 30,000 miles. But, out of curiosity, I pulled the #1 plug and it was nasty! Besides the whitish color, the ground electrode wore off to one side. It was kinda weird seeing it tappered off to one side like that. So, pulled all 8 plugs and they were definitely in need of replacing. Ford said that the OEM motorcraft plugs will last till 100,000 miles, but at 60,000...that's not too bad. I went with the Iridium, because I was told they were better than platinums and besides, each plug was cheaper by a dollar. I definitely feel a better response off the line and hiccup is gone!!!!! Truck is running smooth again.... Ok, gotta go now!
