When I start my truck sometimes it will make a noticeable kind of lurch forward, almost like something just freed up. No so much to put any real strain in the drivetrain.

Just wondering what it could be, or maybe it's "normal behavior"

 

When does it do it? Before you put it in gear? Right as you put it in gear?? Any mods to the trans??

 

I've never had this happen in the Ram, but it did happen a couple of times in my old Blazer. I was in a turning lane with my foot on the brake and she just started lurching forward, I could STAND on the brake and it will still move forward. Crazy.

Interested to see what you find.

 

I should have been more specific. It happens when I start the truck, sometimes it'll just lurch forward an inch or so like there is some kind of stress being released.

 

my truck does the same thing two, it only seems to do it when its the first start of the day, i had an 2002 silverado did it to, im just assuming its normal.

 

As soon as you start it? Or after you start it, and put it in gear?

 

As soon as I start it.

 

Check your shift linkage.
