I've got a 2003 Ram 1500 with the 4.7, and it has started to bog down/hesitate on me. Occasionally when I come to a stop light or stop sign it will bog on me when I try to take off. I just sits at the same RPM regardless of how much gas I'm giving it, then it will ramp up after a few seconds of bog.

It seems to do it more often in colder weather. As it didn't do it at all for 2 months at all during the summer.

It has only died 2 times while doing this in parking lots. I'm passing this truck on to my daughter now, and I need to get it addressed before it gets her in trouble.

Any help is much appreciated!

Cleaned the throttle body yet it gets clogged up over time. May not be the exact issue but wouldn't hurt to give a once over

I agree. Give that throttle body a good cleaning.

Sounds good. I'll give it a good cleaning tonight, and see how she goes after that. Thanks!
