Long story short, I can be driving arund 35, 40,or 45 mph and the truck would buck. I ruled out the engine because I could not hear the pitch change. So that lead me to the trans and the torque coverter. Found out from a few people that it is the torque converter locking and unlocking. Went to Mitchell on demand to see if I could find anything about it and most of the information, you would need a transmission tester for it. So when I saw this I didn't know if it would help or just go into the trans and replace the solenoid.

There's a solenoid in the tranny that could be going out. I have read that "bucking" is also a symptom of CPS failure....not trans. related.

I just replaced the CPS becaues it has been cutting off. Once I replaced it, it runs fine.

But I noticed it will do it at low speed. Had my quad in the back and was running about 65 70 the other day on the highway for about 30 minutes and didn't buck.
