I just hit 100,000 miles on my dakota. There is a hesitation when i get on the gas pedal, the truck hesitates for a second or 2, then i take my foot off the pedal and push the pedal down and the truck takes off again. this has been doing it on and off for a month or more, ill have some good days were nothing happens and some bads days where it will happen a few times. i was recently going up a hill and out of no where i pretty much lost all my speed (right around 35 miles and also when im at 55-60 ,( but not that much, recently going up big hills on highways it may occur), i coasted it to a parking lot and it sat for 10 mins. i fired it up and drove it home as if nothing had happened. im not getting any lights on or anything, anyone have ideas? i thought it might have been tranny but that seems to be fine (just dumped a bottle of lucas in it to make sure lol) im stumped??? thanks for any help?

I just had similer problem, turned out to be my cat converter... The honeycomb was down to the size of a softball, and rolling around freely therfore plugging up my exhaust at times...

 

yes, we banged on the cat and heard it is in peices or moving, so we are gonna repalce that, hope it solves all my problems.
