Alright, changed oil on my 06 SCREW 5.4 and started it up for a few minutes to idle. Drove it and it's shaking while driving and dieseling here and there while idling. Was perfect before change. Any ideas here guys? Maybe too much oil? Checked before I left for work but was kind of in a hurry. Appreciate any help or ideas.

Oh and while I idled after changing, it sounded better than ever up until I drove it.

Hey shultzy! Is the check engine light on? lit up by F150leds.com & 5Star tuned.... it's the cam phasers I'm betting... You've been suckered into buying a truck with gummed up phasers.. The person you got it from didn't change the oil often enough. The only real fix is to replace the cam phasers ( I would use ford parts. Not dorman. Also most people change the timing Chains and all of the timing components as well. )
