Lurching in low gear
Ok, so there I am at the builder's supply picking up stuff. I have to move my truck down to the lower yard to load up, and I'm feeling like hot stuff in my BMF diesel truck. I'm loafing along in second gear, and the dern thing lurches along like it's a one-cylinder Harley. You know what those things are like- WOOMP ahh, WOOMP ahh, instant whiplash. Jamming in into first and revving it up a bit smoothed it out. Totally spoiled a nice showoff moment. 
What the heck makes it do that?

I'm assuming it's clutch related since it got a lot less "bucky" with the aftermarket unit. In the future, to save the showoff moment, stab the throttle and light the tires up. Always works for me

I'm too frugal to waste tread in such a fashion.

I put a 13" LUK repset with a new single mass flywheel. About $550 shipped to my door from Bob Riley at www.dieselsitetoo.com
