Could be that the US government left a few marijuana bricks behind during some of their drug smuggling operations. Sorry, I just couldn't pass that up, lol!

Mine does it occasionally too. I really don't think its fuel sloshing or it would do it more than once.
Lifetime Powertrain Warranty for me.

My 03 5.9 magnum did it, and my 08 5.7 hemi hd does it. I never noticed it in my 03 4.7 though. I do not think its fuel at all, as mine did it with less than 1/4 tank.

I checked it all afternoon and this morning, and my tach does nothing when my 'bump' occurs. Mine happens when I'm stopping, but after I let off the brakes. I don't beleive it does it till I let off the brakes. It feels like a brake is getting hung up or something? It doe'snt do it all the time on my 08. I bet my issue is a caliper hanging up from time to time.

Mine was doing it at the tail end of the stop and it definitely was a late downshift feeling into first. Very subtle. Just like another vehicle bumps you from the rear. Hence the term 'bump stop;.

My 2011 does the exact same thing. It has 250 km on it. It also surges sometimes when coming to a stop and again when I let off the brake. Not sure what that is. The "bump stop" definitely feels like a late downshift into 1st.

Its the gas tank. Got the bulletin from the dealer and tested it out. Full tank no bump, 3/4 tank to 1/2 tank, bump, under 1/2 tank it goes away again. Been through 6 tanks and I can almost time it on the gas gauge now. Its especially more noticable if you have the 32 gallon tank.

You might be right, I've only been through 1 tank in my truck and I was just thinking that I hadn't felt that in some time. I guess it could be the tank. Next time I fill up I'll watch for it.
