Default truck shakes

When I am driving down the road sometimes my truck will start to shake then when I give it gas stop. My front ball joints and wheel bearings are worn out this wouldn't make it shake only sometimes would it ?

maybe it has tourettes?

Have you checked the tires to make sure they're balanced?

Well they are mud terrains and I haven't checked it but wouldn't it do it all the time ?

Can you be more specific, what kind of shake? Where does it feel like
the shake is coming from?

If it's a tire it won't always shake all the time. I just put a "new" tire on my truck and now it shakes sometimes.

It feels like the whole truck and once the rpm gauge jumped around but that's the only time it jumped around
