How often have you changed the filter and fluids? If you haven't in a long time, do not do a flush, just drop the oil, replace the filter and then refill with fresh. Hopefully, this helps you out

Stabilitrak light on and off and it jerks everytime after I stop and go. Is it a spark plug issue?

Accelerates when you gently touch pedal but press harder and it bods down.
SGT. Gute from United States 6 months ago
I appreciate your help, but that doesn't work either. I can press the gas down slowly and it will take off slowly, but when its hitting 25mph you can feel it won't go faster than that. I have also tried a more ruthless approach and more aggressively give it gas, it still does produce any new changes. Any other suggestions before I scrap it?

Surging then dropping out of gear

GMC Yukon 2001 5.3l v8 2wd 300000 miles
Cold start it runs and drives fine. After it warms up,starts surging at normal speed. Within 3 to 5 miles after cold start up it will drop out of gear. Pressing gas pedal, engine revs but no response transmission. Let it coast til speed and engine rpms seem to feel like 2nd or 3rd gear. Pushing gas pedal at this point the truck is in gear and drives shifting gears until reaching around 55mph then drops out gear again. I have replaced shift selonoids, transmission speed sensor and transmission filter. Cleaned maf sensor. Obd2 says knock sensor 2circuit bank 2

Try changing knock sensor
Franky from other a year ago
Most likely the problem is with the torque converter. It seems to be worn out in these cars. The torque converter usually wears out after 250,000 kilometers.
