Clunk and jerk when giving gas and letting off
96 5.2 4x4 manual. Since I got the truck a year ago it has jerked every time I quickly let off the gas or step on it when in gear. It makes a pretty loud clunk too. For the past couple months it has also made an awful clunk/grinding noise that seems to be coming from the front end when I take off from a stand still. You can feel it through your feet and passengers have noticed it too. I haven't read anything that's specific to these trucks, only general forums that say it's motor mounts. How should I check these? I've tried to push the engine and it does not move even slightly. It just feels like my entire front end is loose. What checklist should I go through? This is driving me crazy. Thank you

Thanks for the replies. Is this what I'm looking for to do the mounts? https://m.summitracing.com/parts/ani-2652/none/images I have checked the u joints and they don't have any play so it must be the mounts! I've seen many different kinds when looking them up, ranging from $5 to $42. Not exactly sure what part I need. I haven't gotten a chiens to get a good look under my truck yet

That looks right; but it's twice what RockAuto gets for it.

Also, do the transmission mount; http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/d...ion+mount,8756
You may need to tear into the U-joints. At that age, I'd suspect them even if you can't get any slack into it.

I've actually only replaced the passenger motor mount so far. I haven't had the time to do the others. No difference whatsoever from replacing the one mount, the old one actually looked just fine. Hopefully the tranny mount will do the trick. I'll have some time to do it in a couple weeks and I'll post an update then
