My 2019 gen 2 has just 7k miles and the engine never ran smooth at idle, I always felt a small vibration coming from it. After they performed the fix for Cam Phasers TSB, the engine shudder got progressively worse; luckily not too long after the Cam Phasers fix, Ford released another TSB and the dealer reprogramed the PCM in order to "fix" it. Finally the engine idle shudder went back to "normal" but it is still existent. I am thinking to complain about it next time I go in service with the truck but I really don't believe that it will have a positive outcome; I am almost convinced that they will have no idea of what is happening, they will probably ask me to leave the truck with them for at least a week so they can investigate and I will answer something like "No way, you will get my truck only over my dead body"! ...After I observed this issue for a while now, I started to believe that this could be an air intake issue... Sometimes, when I drive in cold mornings, the engine runs close to perfect at idle. As soon as it warms up outside, the shudder goes back to the "normal" level were I can sense it.
