well, with just that info it could be a number of things. first, do the wheels chatter? or does the motor sputter and shake? do you have a stick or auto? it could be the drive shaft being unbalanced. you could have wheel chatter from the flywheel if its a clutch. or you could have a misfire from the motor. can you give some more info?

yea sry about not putting more info,

... but its auto and the engine dose not shake, and the rear weels seem to spin fast in short spurts causeing that peelout sound on every lil jump that my truck makes and it only seems to do it if I press some what hard on the gas from a stop,... like if I stop and the let the truck go forward on its own the slowlly give it gas it wont do it but if I stop then gas it will do it,... it also seems to somtime do it when it changes gears like once I get to 30mph and I feel it shift. dose that help hope so cause im really worried.

The problem I have sounds exctly like yours (except "it also seems to somtime do it when it changes gears like once I get to 30mph and I feel it shift" that part).
You didn't say what motor or tranny you have, but mines got the 3.9L and the 42RE (the 4-speed auto that came behind the V6's).
I haven't really looked into the problem, for now I just go easy on the initial acceleration.
I have no good ideas.
