Hey guys, trying to diagnose a slow speed shudder.

Essentially, in stop and go traffic, if I barely tap on the accelerator to move forward a couple feet, then let off abruptly, I’m getting some shaking/shuddering that feels like it’s coming from the rear end.

Not sure if it helps, but I feel in general like maybe my suspension needs an upgrade or something. I can feel every single bit of anything on the road. Even with brand new Michelin defenders.

Could it just be crappy suspension?
Rear differential issue?
U joint?
The trans has a mind of its own, maybe it’s woerd shifting?

Truck has 50k, 2015 2WD ST model with the 3.6 and 8speed.

Sounds like a sneaky ploy to convince your wife you need a lift.... I like it!

Although for future reference, if you throw in verbiage like "safety issue" or "because I love you" it tends to help a little.

My 2010 did the same thing, 8 years, nothing ever came of it though.
