Acceleration Issue
I've started to notice (very annoying) that when I'm coasting down the road or holding steady at a constant speed and then try to accelerate, the RPM's increase, then quickly decrease, then go normal. I'm not sure if it's the TPS or a transmission issue. It's hard to tell if its acceleration hesitation or if the truck is shifting into overdrive then accelerating. Any ideas anyone?

What year and engine size do you have? Mileage?
