Vibration at complete stop when in drive
My truck has started doing a vibration that is coming from the motor area (feel it through the break peddle and floor board) also I can hear it.
When it happens is when I am in gear (drive) and I come to a stop. While stopped it makes this vibration and noise until I put it in neutral or take off. If it is vibrating and I gas it the vibration comes to a sudden stop. Any thoughts??

Okay, clarify this for me (us)
In drive you do not notice it while travelling? Only when stopped and in drive (like a stop light)
It does not do it if you shifted the transmission in neutral? How about park?
How is the transmission shifting both between gears and forward/reverse/park?

How low is the idle when stopped in drive? When was the last tune up?

Vibrations are tricky to diagnose online. If I had to guess out of the blue, I would say it's engine related. The light load placed on the engine in drive can be enough to disrupt an engine with a pre existing issue. Give it a little throttle and it finds its rhythm again. That's just a guess.
If it were me I would do some basic things first, change every fluid/filter that hasn't been done recently. This is regular maintenance anyway. Then check some of the spots suggested by people on the forums. These guys have saved me a lot of money over the years and it's a great resource. If it is still a mystery and it were me, I would take it in and have a professional shop diagnose it for me. It usually costs half an hour labour but it's worth it in my mind if you have a tricky problem.
The shop I go to is great and the techs usually tell me exactly what to do when I go to do it myself. Nothing wrong with calling in the pros if you get stumped!

Don't forget to clean the throttle body and MAF sensor. Two HUGE things that can be world-changing as far as the truck is concerned.

Does anyone else here think maybe a bad motor mount? I had an older car do exactly the same thing. It drove me nuts chasing for a long time. I never found it, a shop did because visually, it looked fine.
