New to the Forum with a 2008 1500 5.7 Hemi

[Rowingrepairtim]

Hi All. Just discovered this forum today after 20 years of Dodge 1500 ownership.
My 2008 1500 Quad Cab 4X4 5.7 Hemi has 145K miles and is very well cared for. It is Electric Blue Metallic and being a professional painter, have kept it nice. It is not a daily driver, mostly highway when used.
I've noticed a very slight hesitation "bump" for just a second when just starting out from a stop or when I let off the gas to slow down then lightly apply the gas pedal. It is intermittent with no other noises and performs well otherwise. Engine runs great. Have owned it for 10 yrs. fixing anything when it comes up. I'm not sure if this engine related or transmission or who would be the best to tell me the cause without ringing their hands with "you need a new transmission right now" approach. My trusted mechanics have been disappearing one at a time. ANY help is much appreciated everyone

Welcome to the forum. You might get ideas as to what may be causing the hesitation but without actually diving in to diagnose what's going on it's going to be pretty difficult to pin point it over the internet. It could be a wide array of things.

Thanks for the reply. My first 50 yrs. were in Hartford, now in Knoxville, TN. Not rusting out here!
Yes, it's a head-scratcher. Not sure who to take it to for diagnosing.
