Some 2015-2018 Ranger 4WD vehicles equipped with a 6R80 transmission may exhibit a slight
shudder/vibration on take-off. This may be due to excessive drive shaft angles. A driveshaft angle
measurement of both driveshafts should be performed, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section
205-01. Pay attention to the driveshaft orientation as shown in Step 4, illustration number E211631.
Following driveshaft measurements, use the appropriate Ford Scan tool, select and monitor PIDS on
the TCM for accelerator pedal position (APP), RPM, vehicle speed, torque converter slip desired and
torque converter slip actual. To assist with the investigation use the Report a Vehicle Concern link at
the bottom of the OASIS report and submit a Global Concern Report (GCR) with all findings and
