acceleration stutter
I've been noticing a little stutter when I accelerate lately. I'm not sure what it is but I'm guessing it's the tranny. Anyone else ever have this happen? Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks

Have you re-oiled that K&N filter recently? How many miles on the plugs? Run your gas tank close to empty and refill at a reputable station ?
Need a little more info here to try and help. |
K&N filter is a recent upgrade. I haven't had the truck that long and I have yet to look at the plugs, so thats an idea.
Where abouts is Redfield? |
Sounds like this might be the typical slip yoke problem. The slip yoke needs to be repacked with grease. There is a TSB out there for this. I just had my u-joints replaced, driveshaft balanced, and slip yoke repacked. I no longer have the driveline stutter off the line.

A TSB is a Technical Service Bulletin. Sent out to dealers to inform them of a known problem with a vehicle and an approved repair/replacement procedure.
The slip yoke is the section of a driveshaft , generally near the transmission end, where the two sections of shaft are mated together in a male / female configuration.There is a grease fitting there that tends to get neglected.This causes a bind in the yoke that has a tendency POP when you accelerate. |
How many miles are on the truck?

If anyone knows where I need to grease this slip yoke, please reply. And thanks to you in advance. |
Another hour of searching the forums... I found the answer myself.
