Default 97 Dakota Hessitation on Hard Acceleration

Hi guys, I own a 97 Dakota v8 5.2L, it runs fine, no idle problems not stalling, I recently throw a set of autolites plugs gap them at recommended by dodge (I think 0.40) cleaned the Throttle Body (is shiny now ), checked rotor cap and arm everything fine and clean.

However sometimes I step hard on the gass the truck kinda hessitates to accelerate, if i cut the gas it gets better, I dont have problems when normal driving not even at highway but it happens again sometimes when I accelerate hard what could it be?

Forgot to mention I have no check engine light, and also checked the computer codes and is giving no codes at all

Thx in advance guys

Mine does the same thing, possibly a linkage problem? It doesn't stumble, it just hesitates, then it accelerates.
