check the motor motor mounts for movement,
watch how far engine rocks forward or back with it running and foot on brake

sound like the u-joints in the driveshaft. Lay under the truck and where the u-joints are try moving the driveshaft up and down. If it moves then the u-joints are bed. This will cause a tremendous vibration under a load and the faster it spins it will smooth out.

Testimonial: "That's pretty much what I thought. Just trying to get some feedback about what I already suspected."

there is a motor mount that attaches frum the passenger side wheel to the tming cover. this is the mount that usually goes bad. you have to remove the wheel to see the torx bolt at the wheel well. than there are bolts on the other side of the wheel well. after you get those the ones at the motor have to be removed. you will have to place a jack under the oil pan use a piece of wood with the jack. you also have to take the top mount of first. thats pretty easy to replace.

if what your feeling is not an engine miss,
then it will be a motor mount,best chances are the front center one,,
or top trans mount
