Yesterday my trucks check engine light and TRAC OFF light flipped on and I very much noticed a good shake when ever I accelerated. My 4 low has been turning itself off and on for about a week now. Any input would help! Just did the oil change and at the beginning of the year I had to swap the U-Joint and a Flange Yoke.

Can you tell if the shaking is in the driveline or is the engine misfiring? The TRAC OFF light is letting you know the system is offline, probably a wheel speed sensor or a bearing hub going bad. We need to run the codes to point us in the right direction. please go over this video to see how:
