Hemi
I just purchased a 2004 Dodge 1500 V8 Hemi. I noticed the last couple days that when starting out in drive, it feels as if I am having to give it more gas in order for the truck to move. (Sluggish - slightly dragging start) It reminds me of driving with the emergency brake on. Afterwards, it drives and shifts nicely. I can put it into 2nd gear and the truck accelerates fine from the start. Any ideas?
