slip when starting from stop

when you start from a dead stop the trans slips for a split second.
Feels like it could be a bad u joint but was told by the dealer they were ok.
If you have some wgt in the bed it does not seem to happen. That's why I thought it could be a u joint. Can anyone help me
Thanks.

My 150 just turned 60,000 and have not had the trans oil changed yet. The dealer said something about a pressure ball had a flat spot on it.

Change the fluid. 60K is about time. Just don't do like I did and wait till it fails lol. Mine did make it all the way to 130K, but that's besides the point. It might have lasted longer had I changed the fluid. If you change it, it might just stop slipping.
