Well I started my truck today let it run for a min and took off as,i always do.. I get on the road and notice the truck is jerking back and fourth violently and backfired once.. I pushed the gas so the truck was around 2500rpm (auto) then released.. No more souter, no shack, no nothing.... Wtf is wrong with the truck lol the jerking has happened before but it never backfired... No codes. Please help. I really can't afford a rebuild right now.

----------

I have noticed the truck only does this at low rpm and when it is cold

I'd check for codes anyway, your CEL might be burnt out.
No matter what the outside temp is, I never have to let my truck warm up.

Did it backfire again? If so, could you tell if it was an intake or exhaust backfire?
