Hi, I have this problem also on my 1999, at times when I am take off from a light, it "slams" into gear, I can feel that something is tight, or dragging, I am very gentle on the gas untill, It "breaks" , then it drives fine. I guess you could describe the feeling as a doing a "nuetral drop" with bad u joints.
I bought the truck used used w 80 k it has always done this, I took it to a dealer with a differnt problem, and pointed out this problem also. they took me for a $1200 TUNE UP AND SERVICE WHAT A RIP OFF !! Never said nothing about this change or bulliten, the thing is I would have paid for it!
Anyway I will be doing this service and checking the rear end in a couple of weeks.

This is a great board I just found, I am also going to post another incident I had as "ignition switch" hope it will help someone

Rick
