You might also want to chech your idle rpm. If its set to low your truck will shake pretty bad, shudder and almost stall when you take off.

Motor and tranny mounts is a first thought also could be fuel filter primary and or secondary. Keep us updated.

thanks for all the replies, I haven't had time to check on it but i will soon. also the steering is VERY loose and I have tracked it to the bottom of the steering shaft that connects to the gear box. it is warn out on the inside, I don't know if I should find a shaft in a scrap yard, or buy a borgeson, or there is a rebuild kit on rock auto, im 16 and on a limited budget so any info will help on this subject also.

The typical old Dodge pickup is not steered. It is guided. Get a Borgeson and start steering.
