hesitant and jerky!
i was driving home from school tonight and my truck started hesitating and jerking.....really only did it noticably under 2000 rpms, but above 2000 rpms it did it a little bit, but not bad......it did this a few days ago and it quit after i let it set for about an hour......i let it set for about 3 hours tonight and it started doing it again after i tried to drive it again.....when it idles it runs at about 500 rpm were it usually idles around 900 rpm....and the oil pressure is dropping well below 25 psi like the truck is trying to shut off....
could this be my tranny saying bye bye? or is it something with the engine? is this an IAC going bad?

Clean your MAF if you have one, I would get some carb cleaner too and clean out ur intake manifold. Also it could be a loss in fuel pressure, whens the last time you changed the filter? Could be slowly starting to die, not enough to kill the engine, but enough that its not gettin enough fuel to the cylinders.

hmm ya know i had this problem in my truck when it was new, took 5 trips to the dealer before they 'found it' (dude spilled his coffee all over the front of his shirt on the way to work with it) hehe serves him right for calling me dilusional. um im not sure but ill take a peak at my reciepts and see if i can find what they replaced.
the feeling is almost like the wheels are locking up and it literally THROWS u out of the seat if ur not wearing ur seat belt when it gets REALLY bad. it also idles all over the place, and makes ur RPMs drop ALOT if u turn anything that draws power on - like ac or head lights.

Mine does it every now and then. Matbe this would help since we basically have the same truck. I replaced spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, high test gas, cleaned maf, changed gear oil, etc. It does it from time to time on a low rpm at high speeds.I was talking with a mechanic and said it could be the "tourqe converter" I made a post a month or so ago about mine.

i dunno but im sure its not cheap. btw, there wont be any codes for it either. atleast there was none for my truck. i had the lil box with the lil red button that u push when the truck misbehaves to tell ya whats going on with it, it didnt show squat. I have come to the conclusion that the computer diagnostics are pretty much useless.

If it is bucking that bad, it is obviously something in the drive line. So lets look at what we have there:
Engine... probably not it.
Torque converter... Likely suspect
Transmission... probably not it. They just die.
Transfer case... Nah, it would just blow up.
Differentials... Also would just blow up.
Axles... Nothing to bind up really.
Brakes... We don't have automatic braking systems to malfunction
Wheels & Tires... I think you'd notice that.
