My truck has been having issues lately, and I have narrowed down a couple and have fixed them. I got new hubs and discs which solved my wicked low speed chatter and a few minor other things. Its sitting on 20's with 33x12.5 tires which im going to 17s on 33x10.5 or 11 can't remember exact width, this I think will fix some stuff as well as not murder my wallet on tires for 20's.
The big aggrevating issue I can't nail down is. At low speed and high speed when I let off the gas and then get on the gas again there is a pretty hard jolt which feels like its right under thr cab. This occurs randomly, it was in the shop the mechanic couldn't duplicate it and I had him ride with me a week later after the rotors were installed and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas what could be going on.

Check your U-joints. They might worn out or you might have a Trans that starting go out.

Idk if that would be u-joints but if it is, its definitely easy to check and sol e that issue. Personally sounds transmission related to me.

How many miles on the truck, and have you checked your tranny fluid/filter change lately?

Trupiano - It has 85k on it, I don't know when the tranny fluid/filter were changed last. I bought it used and don't trust people or their idea of good vehicle maintenance so I have had a few things done maintenance wise so far and going to be changing tranny fluid/filter, diffs, transfer case here hopefully in the next couple weeks.
