Not an issue i've encountered before and so i'm not sure where to look. Only thing I can think of is U-joints.
Essentially while driving in higher gears (I think 3rd gear and up, maybe second gear too), when I let off the throttle and it starts engine braking, the truck jerks and bucks badly for a few seconds back and forth, like there's too much slop in the drivetrain. I also can hear a slight banging noise, that might be normal though. It bucks back and forth probably 5 or 8 times depending, before settling down and engine braking normally.
It's kind of like if I were barely getting on and off the throttle repeatedly. It's not nearly as bad though. It's enough to notice and confuse you but probably liveable.
Since I know people will ask, the engine is NOT surging. Engine is not the issue, just seems like there's too much slop somewhere and it's causing the clutch springs to play ping pong.
