Ford Ranger truck shaking when accelerating?

Ford Ranger truck shaking when accelerating?

Added (1). I have a 99 Ford Ranger 4wd. I have started to notice that when I accelerate very slowly, it violently shakes in all ranges. If I let off the gas at any time it stops and if I accelerate fast afterward it is completely smooth and seems to shift fine.
Also If I accelerate at a normal speed from a stop it seems to run perfect. The only problem is when the acceleration is slow. No code on the dash, new plugs, electrical problem seems likely but I don't know where to start. Suggestions?

Check your driveshaft, watch the video below for more detail

Ford Rangers are known to suffer from velociphobia… A fear of acceleration. You should call the dealership, to request an automotive counselor, and medication. #overcomevelociphobia

  • Ford ranger 3.0 v6 sputters when accelerating? My engine sputters when accelerating (especially after it's be warmed up or it's been sitting on a hot day) what could cause this? Coil pack? I've got new spark plugs inside. Does it need an ECU tune up? I'm also using 89 octane which helps but doesn't solve the problem
  • Truck stopped accelerating then stopped? I was going 40 then I noticed the mph was going down. So I pressed the gas down and it didn't do anything. I'm guessing the engine died because I pulled over and turned the truck off, then tried turning it back on and it didn't. It makes the noise it makes when your truck is just out of battery. It sounds like it's gonna turn on but it doesn't. What could be wrong with it? I drive a Ford (that's what's wrong with it lol) expedition
  • 1998 Ford Escort SE shuddering upon accelerating? I have a 1998 Ford Escort SE with 214,000 miles on it. Occasionally, when I start the vehicle put it in drive and take off the vehicle will start to shudder when I accelerate the vehicle. The weird thing is when I take the vehicle out of drive into neutral and back into drive it stops and runs fine. Any clues? Fuel pump was just replaced so I know it's not that.
  • Why is my 2001 Ford Escape not accelerating fast enough? I went on the freeway today, trying to get up to 75 mph and I could only get up to 65 mph for a while. My RPMs were going up faster than my actual speedometer, and my foot was on the gas, to the floor.
