So this has been going on since I got it 6 months ago. About 1 out of every 10 times I put it in reverse, it feels like a bouncy wobble , like the 4x4 is engaged or the differential. If I stop and restart it sometimes goes away. Any insights before I (GULP) take it to the dealer?

Thats super odd. I hope they filled the trans fully before you got it amd its not low on fluid.


It sucks the dipstick is down by the exhaust under the truck. You have tp lay under to check it

That definitely doesn't sound right. Take it to the dealership and have their service people look at it as soon as you can.

Does this "bouncy wobble" occur while turning in reverse? Or, just backing up in a straight line?
