Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Bucking Truck!

[Tim Galyean]

I have a 97 3500 4x4 with a 5spd and 75k. I recently had my throttle cable break on me. I replaced it with a new one, and now I have an extremly light pedal, and if I hit any large bumps in the road and I accidently goose the pedal, my truck starts bucking. It will also buck/shudder at about 1700-2000 rpms, and it does not matter if I am accelerating, holding, or letting off the throttle, it will do it. My old cable was very frayed. Any suggestions?

Yep, congrats, our trucks fall under that year, transmission, pump issue.

Check to make sure you have all the springs required on the throttle linkage. There are two, side by side, under the throttle rod and one of them may be broken or gone.

Well I am almost positive that I found out what is making my truck buck and shudder. I have a broken drivers side motor mount. Does anyone know how much these are from Dodge?
