Hemi 5.7
New here everyone. I just acquired a 2010 1500 5.7 hemi.

Truck seems to run great, until I stop at a light or stop sign. When I go to accelerate from the stop, the truck boggs down. Once I put the accelerate to the floor and after about 2-3 seconds, finally it will take off. Doesn't happen at every stop. Doesn't seem to matter hot or cold (weather or engine). I'm not hearing or feeling a misfire. Previous owner (my dad), has replaced plugs, wires, injectors, since this problem started.

To me it seems as if it could be a electrical issue, or a fuel delivery problem. Anyone else had this issue, if so any solutions. If no one has had this problem, can a pro help?

FYI, this is my first ram...... EVER

Thank you everyone in advance.

Replace fuel filter after running tank to empty. During that, try isopropyl alcohol dry gas (not ethanol dry gas as it just separates water where IP dry gas mixes and burns it out). Possible you have clogged filter and or water in there. This will be cheap start and may fix it. Could also be bad fuel pump.
