Delay
Hey guys im new on the forum. I have a 09 ram 1500 4.7 and was wondering how to get rid of it. The truck runs great but when you floor it there is like a delay before it goes. Thanks for the help.

Do you want to get rid of the truck or the delay? Getting rid of the truck will cost you some $ but it's not hard to trade it in. If you want the hemi, it has the same delay. I found that if I hit the gas pedal a little slower, the delay is much less pronounced. Try going 1/2 throttle, then go the rest of the way to full when you feel the truck responding to the initial throttle setting

Mine has the exact same problem, and Consumer Reports even mentioned it when they reviewed the '09's. I think it is a programming issue, so I'm sure a SC or Diablo would fix it, although I haven't done it because I'm too chicken-**** to risk my warranty.
