I sure that this has been addressed, but I don't get to this part of the forums very often, so please bare with me. I have a low mileage 2011 4 X 4 Ram with a 5.7. It runs great. Good gas mileage, good performance. Only issue that I have and have had since I bought it new, is the throttle response from a dead idle to full throttle. Very bad lag or dead spot. If I load the converter a bit it will take off pretty good. Any suggestions???

My 2011 doesn't have a delay in gas pedal. Now my 2014 T&C on the other hand- you dont want to pull out in front of somebody in that thing. Terrible lag. I can give the pedal a quick "blip" & the engine rpms wont even raise. If I drive mine normally, as I do 99.9% of the time, you would never think that there was anything wrong. That .1% when I'm at a stop light and punch it from an idle is when there is a dead spot. If I load the converter a bit ( a few rpm above idle), the engine responds normally. I've lived with it for the past 7 years. Maybe I'll continue to just live with it??? I really don't want to spend money on something that I will use one time and not need anymore.. Thanks for all the replies..
