weird vibration question
I have an 88 F150. 14700 miles with an auto tranny. It seems like while I'm accelerating from about 30-50 mph the truck has a weird vibration. what could be some of the causes? I was thinking possibly the catalytic converter might be stopped up and I've had people mention torque converter, bad plugs or clogged injectors. Any ideas on which if any of those could be a problem?

OK, give me a sec, I can do easier!................."Your tires are grossly under inflated!" That's the easiest potential remedy I can come up with on short notice, take it or leave it!

that does read a little a little abrasive. Sorry about that. After answering you private message questions, that post must really look like a curve ball! Can I attribute some of it to old age? I'll be 53 in another 55 mins. Thanks 1996 redneck, for trying to explain me. Once again, sorry about that!
