I have a '97 ranger 4X4, 4.0L, Auto (BOOOOO!). When I begin accelerating from a stop I fell a thud about 2 seconds after starting to move, and another 1-2seconds later. I should note that even uphill, this seems to only happen after the driveline is loaded up (truck is actually moving...but slowly). and when I decelerate Also, the rear end (body not axle seems to "lift up" significantly when accelerating and then drops after the thud. I don't remember my older ranger doing this (same as now but manual and a 94). This problem seems to be more pronounced on HOT days or after long drives thsi is why I have posted the question here. I know SWFALL about automatic transmissions. (I hate them sooo much, this is my first...and last!) But these symptoms really confuse me, why would the back end lift if this was a tranny problem?, if this is a spring/suspension problem why the change with temperature!!!!?
Hopefully somone out there is not as confused as me!
