So I used my 2000 silverado 1500 to remove a willow trunk from my yard. 4 Lo, took a bit of work but I tried not to overdo it. Now, truck sputters when accelerating. Once it gets going it’s good but the startup is sputtery and bucks a little. What did I do?

are you asking if it is a trans issue or do you think a rough running motor is the issue?
