is this normal?
i have 06 cc dually v10. when towing my 10.000 k trailer engine will start to skip slightly at high rpm under hard acceleration especially on hilly back roads.
doesnt do it when on highway.almost like its starving for fuel. i towed twice
at 300 miles and at 700 miles. so it shouldnt be filters or such. it pulls hard
to a point then starts this skip or loss of power?

Yeah, probably a bad coil, get it back to the dealer forthwith!
If you can get it to "skip", and without shutting it off, bring it to the dealer and have it scanned (again, without shutting it off), they can pinpoint the cylinder #.

If the road surface is uneven, and you're moving at a goodly rate, you might be feeling the LSD working as the rear wheels load and unload over the undulations.
