I have never seen a harmonic balancer just go bad. Doesn't mean it could not happen, it is just rare.

Pull upstream O2 sensor and see how it runs. Then check the Plenum sticky at the top of forum page.

Does it do it sitting still? If so, I suspect you have a miss...... recheck tune-up parts.

If you had a 5.9 I would say its just the engine, but since you have a V6 it's probably something else.

Could be a miss or just old parts.

Start with HeyYou suggestion's

Other things to check are

tranny mount
motor mounts
cross-joints
pinion bearing outer
E brake cables, make sure they are releasing all the way
check for grabby rear brakes
Axle bearings
brake drums out of round
