dead throttle responce on ram 2500
Anyone else having a delayed throttle response when you let up and push down again, I go to pull out and there is nothing for a hesitation. Scary
Forum Discussion
- Haven't had that problem but like they said back in the carburetor/accelerator pump days... hesitation will get you killed.
- Yes, turbo lag? Scary when you’re pulling out into traffic!
- It's heavy programmed torque management causing dead or delayed pedal. You can minimize some it by turning off traction control and putting the transmission into tow/haul mode. Others have gone to tuners or mods to fix the response.
- What year of truck?

I think some of it is also emissions related. The balancing act of not sending too much fuel and clogging DPF before turbo spools up. I believe some of the tuners can throw more fuel at it on the bottom end but that is why some DPF on bad tunes kill the filter.- It's a stock '16 CTD. I'll check with the dealer when I go for my trans Park recall. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem with hesitation at times.
- Mine will only do it when I dip into the throttle pretty good, release it and then dip right back into it again in a fast sequence, and then I'll get a second or so of hesitation. As mentioned above some have eliminated it with tuners. I just try to avoid the specific sequence that causes it so I very rarely experience it.

Mine does the same thing, I guess I've gotten used to it.M.R.E. wrote:

I have the same truck and have not noticed that problem
Let us know what the dealer says- 2015 stock CTD, no lag.
