    Every time I accelerate at a normal speed starting at 18 through 26 mph, the truck shakes and jerks. Stops once i let off the gas and/or smash the gas. 107,000 miles

    everyone I talk to seems to not have an answer. Help please

    lol @ the title. Got a good laugh out of that one. Now on a serious note maybe an injector/spark plug issue?

    If you want to jerk, find a safe spot and pull over.

    Otherwise, I got nuthin....

    but to at least be helpful...

    do you have sense of where the shaking is coming from? the front/rear/suspension/or middle of the truck? sounds like a driveline issue to me, but I'm no expert.

    Lot of buffing, jerking & rubbing on TW today. Must be some kind of swingers' holiday.

    It’s hard to not get excited about a taco, but have some self control man.

    any recent changes to tires, suspension etc?

    Try putting in into 4hi and (driving straight) that could help determine if it’s the needle bearing.

    It's a sick world.
    I'm a happy man.

    I suspect the OP is referring to 'hesitation' while moving from 18-26 mph...
    Perhaps an issue with cheap gas, .. ?

    Id try a little lube. Driving or not, friction causes heat. And to much heat in the wrong place is a recipe for disaster.

    How many miles on the truck? Are the spark plugs the originals?

    (And in reference to the title - do you have dark tint windows?) :boink:
