I get wheel hop....Oh wait, it is just the miles of washboard in this town.

Wow, reading comprehension owns me.

Replace "washboard" with "potholes"

Do you have rubber suspension or motor mounts? Maybe your engine is flying around...

Suspension is all poly. Cradle is solid mounted (88). Engine is mounted with 4 stiff rubber mounts (Dodge Truck mounts, Anchor p/n 2265), with a torque strut similar to a swaybar endlink (with poly bushings). There isn't any movement there as far as I can tell.

It's not simply movement that contributes to wheel hop... it's lack of damping; if your engine mount system can store energy and doesn't have much damping associated with it, then it might be contributing

I'd do the Konis before I got worried about that, though.

Well thats certainly a possibility then. I want the Konis anyway though so I'll get those first and then add another torque strut; maybe even a driveline damper of some sort.

As long as your engine's reasonably well mounted, it's probably not an issue. Bet you $1 the Konis fix it.
