I have pretty much had this problem since i bought the truck, but it sort of feels like it is becoming worse, and i cannot find any reasonable reason why my truck is doing thing. When I come to a slow, rolling stop or complete stop, everything is normal. When accelerating again once in a while my truck will sort of buck. It feels like something is hitting me from behind very gently. It does not do this everytime, but 95% it does. Here is some more information:
When i first bought the truck the transfer case chain was shot, at the time i was blaming the jolt on the chain getting slack and then tightening itself when i took off again. I replaced the chain and it didnt do it for a long time. After a while it started doing it again and i just cant believe that the chain could stretch itself out that fast and cause it again. (Probably not even 3000 miles).
Then i blamed it on my brakes, i thought that maybe they were not releasing fast enough and causing it to buck, but i just replaced every base brake part (Shoes, springs, drums, hardware kit, adjust link and cable...)
I am stumped, I dont think it is a tranny buck, it just doesnt feel like it, and i am praying that it isnt. What else in my driveline could cause this? I think that it is also related to the buck that i sometimes get when i let off the gas. (My sisters 2001 jeep cheeroke does the same thing).
