Welcome to FTE notabeanr

A few items can do that, what year is the truck? What oil are you using?

the year is a 2004 and the oil i use is one the dealership uses. this problem happened once before that is when they had a recall with the firing harness but they switch it out. could it be the harness again.

Could be, I had the updated harness and the surging was happening on my truck however surging on my truck is an understatement.
