2004 2500 short box, quad cab, six speed, 4. 10 rear

Outside temp 25 degrees

Truck fully warmed up after driving 30 miles home a freeway speeds

As I entered our one mile long dirt driveway, the truck shudder as if I was in 5th gear at a low speed, while actually being in third gear.

I put in the clutch, the truck continued to shudder until I came to a stop. Setting the parking brake I looked under the truck, thinking u-joints?

Looked under the hood, idle was fine. It felt as if the entire drive-train was coming loose. Continued on to the house with a shudder effect the rest of the way. Parked in driveway, crawled under truck, checked for loose driveshaft etc.

Went in the house, made sure my triple AAA was up to snuff, in case of needing a tow in the morning.

The next morning, set off for work expecting the worst.

Nothing, nada, zilch. Dropped it off at the dealer, with the above explanation. They put it on the lift, drove it etc. Nothing.

No fault codes, no TSB's were found.

Any other Cummins owners experienced ANYTHING like this?

Thanks

My 02 had a shudder like that. Turned out to be an extremely clogged fuel filter. Just my take.



Mine did it, too. Idled fine. But at about 20-30 mph it started bucking and shuddering. It did it on the way to work. After work, I drove it and it was fine for about 12 miles. Then it started it again. No codes. Nothing. The second time, I couldn't go over 40 mph. I babied it home, changed the filter and no problems since.

Engaged or disengaged. Mine only did it at speed. Had to be under load for it to start.
