So, it’s no surprise that my engine runs rough after i just it off and turn it back on after a short period of time. But this morning, i parked it, shut it off and left it there for about 30-40 minutes or so, came back and started it up to move it somewhere else and it ran fine. But it couldn’t keep a consistent rpm level, so the truck was lunging back and forth as im trying to pull away. But i went to take a turn to try to position it over a drain so i could wash out my bed and i went around a curb the the truck lunging forward and stalled, not like engine turned off kind of stalled but the truck just stopped, i pushed the gas down a couple times and it would just rev up the engine. So I took it out of gear and put it back into Drive and hit the gas again, but heard a clunk probably from my driveshaft and it lunged forward again, and continued moving. I got an extended cab so I got a 2-piece driveshaft, I was also on uneven ground so could it just have been the uneven ground and the driveshaft was at an awkward angle or something?
