Message:
i have had my 2002 4.7 now since june, and its got 12k on it, had two miles on it when i bought it, but anyway, its just started this since it has been cold so i am guessing thats the culprit, but sometimes when it shifts up its kind of a rough shift like it slacks off for a second then slams into gear nothing drastic just a little jerk then sometimes when it shifts down it just gives a little kick anyone know what this is?

What speeds and RPM range does this happen? Is your truck a 2WD or 4WD? Is it an auto or stick? I'm guessing it's an auto, but I need more info that just a question.

Sounds pretty harmless to me. My Jeep does this as well with the 4.7 and sutomatic.

Maybe it's just the torque converter/lockup.

yea i was thinking it was just the torque converter but i wasnt postive, it dosnt seem to be anything major as it dosnt happen alot, it really only happens when i come off the gas and go back on it really lightly before the rpm's drop down, so no worries

I have a '93 dakota with 192,000 miles and it did the same thing. I changed the u-joints and it seemed to help the problem.
