So, under acceleration the truck jerks. In gear, but with no gas, it all seems fine. It also seems fine in neutral giving it gas, but you never know still. A minor hiccup could be all what is happening that is unnoticeable in neutral.


I was wondering if a loose drive belt, or a bad belt tensioner could be causing the jerking. My belt is sqealing at idle now. I put belt dressing on that did nothing, and my belt tensioner I have noticed is making a strange noise that I have never noticed before. You don't even need to put your ear in the engine bay to hear it.


Looking up online, there is a HUGE check list that needs to be done, and it is really going to suck. Just thinking I should take it to a mechanic.


I recently got a new fuel pump, and fuel filter 4 or 5 months ago now, so that shouldn't be it at all. I put injector cleaner in the truck, and it seems to already be working, but I am skeptical. Some startups the truck is way worse then other start ups, and I think that I have just been lucking so far.

The distributor cap and rotor in there should be off the check list as well. It is currently raining, and it has been acting a lot better the last two start ups today. It has acted way worse on one of our drier days. So I don't think that it is a moisture issue.
Plus are 5 months old, wires are like 18 months old.

I would say it has been doing it for about a month now, and it is really starting to piss me off.

I also have no engine light. I have also checked, and need to recheck my vacuum lines. Though they were all fine when I checked first, and I can't hear any vacuum leaks either.


Anyone have any insight? Would be much appreciated.
