This is going to be hard to describe. When driving, and doing what I would call a “soft” acceleration - not mashing on the gas pedal, but just slightly speeding up - the truck feels almost like it’s going down a gear, then it makes this low throaty rumble, then it feels like it shifts up, makes a “vrroom” noise and slightly lurches forward.
So, imagine you’re driving 60 on the interstate. The car in front of you slows down, so you in turn slow down to around 50mph. The car in front of you then speeds up slightly. You lightly press on the accelerator to keep pace. Your truck makes a low noise like “brrrrrrrr” and as the truck speeds up it makes a light “vrooooom” and slightly lurches forward.
The truck doesn’t do this under a hard acceleration; only when slightly speeding up.
I hope what I typed makes sense.
Any ideas?
