Default Truck "bucking" in between 40-50 mph...
I just changed the spark plugs and gapped them to .055 and now I am noticing this when driving in the 40-50 mph range. Is the gap correct or could it be something else? It almost feels like a tranny slip but I don't think it was happening before I changed the plugs.

Thanks for any help in advance!

What year is the truck? What size is the engine? What brand plugs did you use?
