Angry Damnit...bucking again...any ideas?

Hey guys, my truck started bucking around 45-50, uphills. Figured it was the COPs, so I changed all of them with new ones.


It fixed the problem for about 2-3 weeks, and now it's back to doing the same thing again.

WTF? Obviosuly that was the problem if it stopped after I replaced them, so why is it doing it again so soon after?

Any ideas what this could be, or what's causing it?

Thanks for any help!

This worked for me (and I didn't have to replace my COPs). Pull your COPs and add some dielectric grease to the inside of each boot. It's cheap enough and only takes about 20 or 30 minutes to do.

Good luck.

I did put it on when I changed them, but maybe not enough? Do you really think that would make a difference?

Well, if you already put it on then I'd say it may not make a difference. I'll say this, when I did it for my truck I put quite a bit in each boot (enough to fill nearly the top 1/2 inch).

Otherwise I'm out of ideas.

I guess Ill give it a try, I really only put a dab of grease on the top of the opening of each one. And maybe just re-inserting all of them will do the trick, who knows.
