    So I thought this might me a drive line issue but maybe not. I replaced the spark plugs about a month ago. Problem started About a week ago when I slowly try to build up speed the engine hesitates and gives a stutter mostly happens in 5th gear. Any thoughts?
    Turned out it was a cracked spark plug.
    Thanks for your suggestions

    Do you use shitty gas? Could be water in gas or crappy gas. What plugs did you install?

    Might be worth mentioning. It only happens below ~1700 rpm

    If it only started just after the plug install, I'd pull all the plugs and check the gap and electrodes for irregularities.

    Just pulled all plugs. Found the culprit I'm pretty sure. One plug was cracked. Went to Walmart but they don't carry denso. Making a trip to O'Reillys in the AM.
