Shutter while driving
I have a 2005 1500 with the 4.7. When accelerating from a stop, it shutters for a second, then it’s fine. The worst issue is driving down the highway. It is shuttering and almost feels like I am riding with no suspension. It is an intermittent issue, but is very frequent. If I stomp on it, or let off the gas, it goes away for a little bit. I was thinking it was the torque converter shutters, so I bought a new one and installed it. It didn’t change anything. Anyone else have any ideas?

Have you tried driving the speed it shutters in a different gear? Is it rpm related? Is it engine related or drive train. With what you have said i would think it could be any of the following; coil pack arcing, fuel injector or pressure, drive shaft u joints, center support bearing, drive shaft splines. It could be anything but those are things i would start checking first.

i have not tried different gears. I know it does it mainly when I and between 65 and 75. If I let off the gas, it will stop until I accelerate again. It also stops if I mash it. It has not thrown any codes, but the check engine light did come on tonight. I am going to hook it up to the reader in the morning and see if I can pull a fault code.

Sounds like a misfire. Check your codes and plugs as I have a v6 4L sohc explorer sport that's the same way in terms of symptoms and it has 2x engine to lean codes and 1x cylinder 3 misfire.
