Post slipping...

Hi,
I have been having problems with some sort of slipping in my '05 as of late. The rear end feels to be slippling, it seems to happen as I am accelerating after coasting to slow down or when going up hills. The slipping makes the rear axel feel as though I am hitting 3-4 big cracks in the pavement (kind of bouncing the rear end)and then its fine. I am almost positive that it is not the transmission, any other possible ideas? As a side note: I did do some pulling this weekend with a 18ft ski boat and it pulled/did not slip at all pulling the boat out of a steep/wet ramp. Any help would be great. Thanks

Change the oil in your rear end ...and if you have a limited slip add friction modifier

Simliar problem with my 06. Feels like trans slip at 30-40mph slowly increasing in speed. From reading the spark plug thread im thinking it may be that?? Really not sure though
