Hi there, first time poster, long time Dodge truck owner. I'm hoping someone can guide me, as the dealership has been worthless. I've had my 2008 truck since brand new and it has 56,000 miles on it. However, I have had an intermittent issue that is progressively getting worse. It used to be only a few times a year, but now it's almost once a week. When I'm driving longer distances and the truck is warmed up, just as I get up to my 70-80 mph speed, it begins shaking - almost like it's misfiring and has trouble kicking down to overdrive. So I pull over, and as I slow down, it almost lurches to a stop. But when I turn the engine off and restart, I can continue with no issues. I've taken it into the dealership to troubleshoot, but they say there's "no codes" and send me on my way (it is under the lifetime warranty). I've had a buddy mention coil pack replacement, but I've also heard that the 2008 transmission can be problematic.
I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this, or can at least set me on the right path to troubleshooting? I'd appreciate any insight, thank you in advance!
