Could be ur differential. Is it limited slip.....make sure u have plenty of friction modifier and have u ever changed ur differential fluid. Is it kinda like a jerk feeling?

I think there is a TSB about drive train slip-bump - Lube the slip yoke at the transfer case.

05 5.4 37,000 miles. I too get a thump when dead stopped and right before shifting into second. Going up hill is worse. Taking it in on Wednesday to Ford. I'll mention the slip yoke and differentials to them. Yikes.
