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.

Mine does the same thing, I guess I've gotten used to it.

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.

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.

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.

What year of truck?

Yes, turbo lag? Scary when you’re pulling out into traffic!

Haven't had that problem but like they said back in the carburetor/accelerator pump days... hesitation will get you killed.
