Agreed. I have several 5* tunes and the hesitation comes back eventually.

Actually, I think the shifting is exactly what causes the problem I started this thread about. I have changed my tune to downshift to 2nd gear down to 0 mph/TPS, just like other gears. The factory doesn't downshift to 2nd at lower speeds (<14mph in my factory tune)/TPS. I am guessing it is because it sometimes causes a driveline clunk that is hard to tune out. I would rather have a little clunk then a truck that falls on it's face when you try to start accelerating again.
