i have a similiar type of problem i guess.. sometimes when driving non highway just city i give it a little gas but the tac moves up and it doesnt move but then when i let off a little bit and give it gas it goes. I think i might need a new transmission filter. what you guys think?

I've had a few instances in which the truck was pulling hard under cruise (usually on an incline but not always steep) and it just jumps like a ghost hammered down on the gas. I just tell my fiance the truck's possessed by Dale Earnhart.

As a rule, I never drive with cruise on in icy conditions for this reason, but that one time, the conditions just didn't seem icy at all. Suprising how quick conditions can change though.
