Such a vague post...

start with the basics. Check all mounts, check to make sure all COP's are properly installed, plugs are snug, etc.

Any CEL's?

Probably not the problem. The engine mounts on these trucks are solid and typically outlast the truck itself.

My Mechanic said it shaking and misfiring. But he said he needed to hook a computer up to the truck to figure it out.
