[QUOTE="Jackson Ellis, post: 1017413, member: 70795"] Just thinking out loud here - 2 possible issues. Do you see any lights on the dash coming on when you get these symptoms? Do you have AWD? If you have mismatched tire sizes, it could be confusing the traction control or auto AWD system. You'd see reduced power in some situations, and you might feel the truck trying to buck or decelerate. If your tires are all the same size, close to the same tread wear, and all properly inflated, then I'd try an experiment on the speed sensors by turning traction control COMPLETELY off (long hold the button), and see if the truck will give you full power. Could be a speed sensor with the traction control/ABS system acting up or failing. Turning off the TCS completely will let the engine ignore any sensors telling it to back off. [/QUOTE]
