I have the vehicle listed above with the 5.4 Triton. Recently, it started bogging down when I put it in drive. It does it every time but only for about 5-10 seconds and then it drives like normal for as long as I need. It wants to go for a second, boggs down to almost no power and then jumps back to normal. Any ideas?

Lets run the codes to see what comes up, but it sounds like you need to service the throttle bore.
