    Just now at a stop light my truck started to shake violently. I looked at my edge and the rpms, and temps were fine everything was normal. Upon acceleration it was still shaking like crazy, so i let off the gas to try and pull over when i accelerated again the shaking was gone. I did what i had to do and it drove fine, like nothing ever happened. I thought this was the first time it had happened but i recall when i was on the farm that the truck did it on the highway. as i accelerated to merge it started to shake, my first thought was it was the road was chewed up bc thats exactly what it felt like. Now it did it again but at a complete stop. I checked the edge and there were no codes either.

    Aside from these 2 instances it has run perfectly fine. It idles normal and hasnt given me any problems.

    The times that has happened to me:

    Stuck injector
    Clogged cats
    Rear brake caliper hung (wound up being a collapsed brake line)

    It could honestly be anything.

    It could be something as simple as bad gas, too.

    It hasn't thrown a CEL, has it?

    Could be a coil going bad, or maybe plugs. I had that happen when a coil went out

    I thought maybe the plugs but wouldn't that cause a constant rough idle?
