how many miles on the truck? Do you have the current flash on the pcm? What about white smoke especially when damp outside.

Just trying to narrow down what is happening.

Yep, need more info. There is a 3-4 second delay on the big power when you take off but using the word "hesitation" brings up a few other things.

Check out the 6.4 Diesel Tech Folder and read through the TSB section.

These trucks have a terrible delay in throttle response on the initial take off. Its just built in to the programming for emissions and it seems some trucks are better/worse than others. If you have owned the truck for that many miles and are just now noticing this Im guessing something has changed on your truck or else your driving style has changed (due to towing or something like that is what I mean).

keep us posted if the MAP sensor (or something else) fixes the problem for you.
