2022 Ram 1500 5.7 etorque hesitation off the line

[Mrbuilder43]

I have a 2022 Longhorn with a 5.7 etorque engine that I purchased 2 months ago. When I shut the auto start off, the acceleration hesitates for a split second from a dead stop. Its similar to when a carberator hesitated in the old days. When the auto start is engaged it doesnt do this. It feels like the engine gulps before it gets gas. Not a big issue at all - but something is wrong. Anyone else?

Did not know the 4th Gen's come with etorque. Good luck

what octane gas? did it do this on the test drive when you bought it?

My 2020 eTorque was the same way until I got it tuned. Before I sold it I put the factory PCM back in but left the trans tune on it and it drive like a dream. No weird jerky shifting as it slowed down at stop signs and no hesitation from a stop or passing.

Can't really say that' relevant to your situation but sounds similar.

My 2022 Ram Bighorn 3.6 1500 etorque lunges in both forward and reverse.
The lunge in both cases has hesitation prior when minimal acceleration is applied.
The issue is troublesome when parking on hills or with a slope of any kind.
I love the truck but this is very problematic. Any one else experiencing similar
issues.

What tune did you have? You literally described my truck to a T!

I have a 2022 Limited with 3500 miles on it and the eTorque 5.7L. I have the exact same issue you described. Hesitates from a dead stop when the auto start/stop is off. Did you ever figure out a solution?

I have the same. 22 Laramie 5.7. It happens when the auto start/stop is off too. I have been using regular and not premium btw. 2200 miles on the clock.

Add another. My 22 etorque has had an auto startstop eliminator since new. I am pretty used to it, but it hesitates a second and then lunges forward, I tend to spin my wheels a lot taking off. I use 87 octane as well.

I'm curious if any of y'all have Hill Start Assist activated in your truck.
