Asked by TAZWELL2016 Dec 14, 2016 at 12:44 AM about the 2008 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4WD

Question type: General

BOUGHT NEW WITH 200 MILES ON IT, NOW HAS 102,486 MILES. STARTS FINE BUT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP IT IS VERY BOGGY, LIKE IT IS HAVING A HARD TIME TRYING TO GO.  IF I GIVE IT ALOT OF GAS, IT WILL GET UP AND MOVE.  IT DOES HESITATE A LITTLE AND HAS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. NEVER HAD A TUNE UP BESIDES OIL CHANGES (OVERDUE ON THE LAST ONE) AND AIR FILTERS.. I AM USUALLY ON "E"  BUT FILLED IT 2CE AND DROVE OVER 600 MILES IN A 24 HR PERIOD AND NOW AM NOTICING IT NOT WANTING TO GO FROM STOP......COULD IT BE THE TPS, MAP, MAF OR MAYBE THE FUEL PUMP/FILTER?

Fuel pump is a high probability especially where you an empty rider. Fuel is the coolant for fuel pumps so your constantly overheating it. Second option would be to check exhaust flow for restricted catalytic converters. Good Luck
