Hesatation on accerating

I from time to time have felt a hesitation in accerating. It is like the engine cuts out for 1/2 a second. It is very random and not that often, but it does do it. Does anyone one else have this problem

I take it that you are a new owner of the 6.4? Ever have a diesel before?

there is a bit of turbo lag. Some due to emissions requirements, some because of the time it takes for the turbo to spool up.

If you roll into the throttle it will respond better.

^^^ WHS...

Or, if that's not the case, without any additional details (model year, mileage, mods, etc.) it's near impossible to do anything other than spitball...
