Shakes or Wobbles problem V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 61000 miles

i have a 2002 ford f350 7.3 liter engine with a little less than 61000 miles. this is the first year i have driven it except for winter plowing season in probably 3 years. it seems that when it hits between 30 - 40 mph and 50 - 60 mph it jerks and pushes forward as if you were tapping the brakes, and when im driving or stopped the whole truck loses power for about 1-2 seconds. i took it into ford and they replaced 2 things that were recalled and ever since then (4 months ago) it has gotten worse.

Thanks,
Corey Ellis

Hello,

It sounds like you have an ignition switch that is going out. I just had this problem and it fixed my truck.

Let me know.
