Truck Sort Of Jumps While Cruising At 80 To 100 Kmh

hi I'm brand new here, Ive got a 2002 dodge diesel auto, it has 150.000 KMS, runs great except that it has a .... stutter, not from the engine but almost like if you were pulling a trailer and were manually touching the trailer brake, just sort of feels like it's sticking or something is binding , just a bit, and not always, so I'm wondering, could it be the posi track, or???? any ideas? doesn't do it while accelerating just while cruising not on corners per se, with or without the cruise control, doesn't affect power or anything, tach doesn't jump, just feels like a brake being applied , but they're not, , all the brakes are good nothing sticking, lots of power , just an annoying ...... pulse ?? Not sure I'm able to describe it well but ......sound familiar to anyone?

If you feel it in your seat possible wheel balance or driveshaft balance, bent rim or flat spot on tire.

It might be the tc have lockup issues. When it fianlly locks, it gains a little speed.

Yes, I had that in my 2002. It was the beginning of the end of my VP44.
