Truck Shaking
Well this just randomly started on my way home from my girl friends house. I was stopped at a red light and my truck started to shake in the steering wheel, also a bump in the seat every 2 or 3 seconds. So when i got home i popped the hood and looked to see if anything was out of place but im not very car experienced (if that makes sense) and couldnt spot anything. so when just 2 hours ago i had to run an errand so i thought it would be a good time to check out how/when it does it. so i started up my truck and it started doing it right away. it did it at every stop sign and almost the entire time unless i got roughly above 40 then it shook a little less but still did. the Rpms cant stand still the go up and down at stop from 700 rpm, to 900 rpm, to 800 rpm, etc, etc. I think its something to do with the fuel system, sadly i can barely afford to drive my truck, so i usually drive it until it goes under E or till i get money to put in there. so im just guessing thats its fuel injection, fuel filter or something along the lines of that. i really want to fix this asap because im a pizza delivery driver and this is my dads truck so i want to take care of it best that i can.

get a tune up. you probably have a cylinder miss. I spent around 300 dollars on unnecessary parts when it turns out the mechanic who sold me the truck put the cheapest spark plugs in which caused a miss.
