Shudder
So finally I've got her up and running, my 79 F250 Supercab. Gone maybe 200-350 miles in her, just driving around town, running errands, etc... now I live in New Orleans and the streets are crap, but I swear I can feel a shudder in the truck, something that was not there, 25 miles ago. Kind of a stopping starting feeling even though I've gone 15 miles and it is 70 degrees out and warmed up.
Me thinks this is:
#1 I should give her another tuneup after having driven it around and the truck has sort of adjusted due to all the banging around...
#2 Fuel pump may need adjustment...
#3 I know I have a rear main engine seal leak, not sure if this could be
a problem causing the shuddering...
Thoughts?

Shudder...
Fuel is fresh, the filter is new as of 200 miles ago. New PCV Valve as well.
I guess when I say shudder I mean there is a lot more play in the engine, kind of like it is chugging along versus running smooth like it was 25 miles ago. It could use an oil change, as I did one 300 miles ago when I first started working on the truck, but I imagine the oil may have kicked up a lot of engine debris and so maybe it is time for that.
When I say shudder I mean when the truck is in between idling and 10 miles per hour.
