I've never run it hard (to the point where I question why I have a 450HP truck lol). I've never even floored it. And I never run it harder before the engine is up to temp. I have never noticed this issue at temp.When I get to work (about a 20 minute city street drive) the engine and trans aren't as hot as they can be but mostly warmed up according to the gauges.I can repeat this issue when I go to lunch from work and when I leave work. So, the engine isn't cold but more like warm at these times.When I go to lunch, the truck has been sitting for about 4 hours. The gauges (oil/trans temp) read somewhere in the middle of 100 and 150. So not cold and not hot. I start and drive about 100 feet to a stop sign. If I give it say, a 1/4 or more (i.e., what I would consider a very normal take off) I will get the "pause". So what I do is kind of throttle it very gently until I feel a slight hesitation, at which point I'm past the 'pause' and can drive normally. I will hit this point in probably a few hundred feet or so after the stop sign then it's good.When the engine is 'over night' cold the trans will slip pretty much when I go over this local speed bump a few hundred feet from the house. So again, I have learned to throttle very carefully until I feel I'm past that point. Then all is good. I've been in vehicles where the trans won't shift up, below a certain temp, so if this is that issue (i.e. computer related) then it just needs to be adjusted. Since a lot of people have been experiencing this for years, it seems unlikely there is a fix for it though.</blockquote>
