Any chance you’re feeling the truck kicking between 4 and 8 cyl? Just a thought. I feel the same thing.

Ill have to double check, I didn't look at the V4/V8 indicator, but it does feel more frequent than that.

dang. That’s horrible. How’s the transmission fluid? So it starts but if you put it in gear it doesn’t engage?

When at constant speed next time, with it jerking, put the transmission in manual to see if the jerking stops. It maybe the transmission is switching back and forth between two gears.
