E4od trans? surges...

When I drive along a smooth straight road at about 35 - 40 mph, I sometimes notice that my truck seems to lunge / surge fore and aft. Does not seem like fuel / engine problem, but may be related to a shimmy / shudder that I posted a couple of posts back. Truck has a decent vibration upon acceleration from a stop up to about 15 mph, gets worse when towing 8000 # load. Truck has 51K miles. Have also noticed a little bounce in the speedometer at highway speeds, probably about 3 mph.

Thanks to all, Dan...

Clean the speed sensor in the rear diff and see if that helps.

Have you changed the fluid yet? Have you checked for codes? Have you tested the MLPS? If those don't pan out I would start to lean toward the torque converter. But definitely look at everything else 1st.
