Default Bucking when pulling out or under load.
When pulling out or going up a hill when you try to give it the beans the truck jumps, kicks, coughs, and sputters. However when you get up to speed it doesn't do that or if you lightly get on it it doesn't buck. The problem is semi-intermittant I just replaced the upstream o2 sensor and seems to have made it worse! I'm pulling my hair out! I don't know what to do anymore. 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.2. Please help!

Have you pulled codes? Are you getting a CEL?

What brand O2 sensor? Sometimes it's the TPS. You have a scan tool that can read live data?

Look at fuel trims, O2 sensors, and TPS sensor % and volts if you can
