I recently bought a 2023 Ford F-350 with the 7.3L Godzilla gas engine and about 21,000 miles on it. Overall, the truck runs great and passed a full inspection with no issues.

The only thing I’ve noticed is a very slight hesitation from a dead stop, right as the transmission seems to be moving from 1st to 2nd gear. When I first press the accelerator, it almost feels like the truck briefly pauses or thinks about the shift before fully getting into 2nd. Once it’s in 2nd gear, there’s no hesitation at all and the truck pulls strong.

It’s not a major issue, and there are no other symptoms or concerns. I’m assuming this may just be normal behavior for the truck, but I wanted to ask if other 7.3 gas F-350 owners have experienced the same slight pause or hesitation from a stop during the 1st-to-2nd shift.
