When I stomp on the accelerator, truck acts like it is missing and stuttering. Doesn't accelerate, bogs down. When I feather the gas, it runs fine and I can slowly get to my desired speed. Any ideas?
Sensor? Thanks.

I would first run a pressure test on the fuel rail to test fuel pressure. Also, throw a couple Chevron Techron fuel system cleaners in the tank. I usually to 3x what they say on the bottle. If that's ok, take out a spark plug and see what it looks like. There's plenty of YouTube videos of how a lean, rich, or well running engine should look. Is it tripping any codes? Could be a clogged cat. Start with those first... dont worry too much about the catalytic converter yet... check those other things first

Mine was doing the same thing after a fresh rebuild. I then got a P0430 code. Catalytic converters under efficiency bank 2. Looking for new OEM cats now :)

It just magickly stopped. Cranked it the next morning and drove it down the road and nothing. It hasn't done it since. I did buy some injector cleaner and ran it through it. No codes at all. Still driving fine. Bad gas maybe? Software issue? I guess I will wait until it does it again. lol

Maybe some trash in the system or water in fuel and worked its way thru

I had this problem but it was every time I drove. Mine was bad O2 sensors.
