I own a 2005 1500 with a 5.7 and A/T. I purchased the truck back in 2008 and ever since I've owned it, it has had a shudder at take-off. I noticed it shortly after I purchased it and had the dealer check it out with no luck, so I wrote it off to just a quirk of the truck. It doesn't always do it, but it does only happen at take-off and not going down the road. I've been given different guesses of that it's a common issue of the clearances of the torque converter, rear end fluids and just don't know. I do have regular services done on the trans, rear end and recently had the pinion nut recall done. It now has 150000 miles on it and still continues to perform well otherwise. Does anyone have a different possible answer? Thanks
