Engine revs several times over 1500 RPMs while in 1st (Less than 600 miles)

[UDCentaur]

Here was the situation:

Started the truck up, placed into R backed up and turned the wheel to reverse onto pavement as I was on grass and on a slight decline stopped put in D to go over a jump and I pressed on accelerator like normal except this time the engine rev up to 1500+ RPMs still in 1st gear. It did a several times so I hit the brake and settled the truck down and came to a complete stop. Pressed the accelerator again and it shifted just fine.

Ummm...anyone else have such an issue? Only 600 miles on the clock. It has only happened once...

Other than clicking several times after initial start up which I hear could be drained oil or the brakes both issues I guess normal for these Hemis- the truck has been great so far!

Was it bouncing almost like it had a cam? (like it would rev on its own to 1500 then go back down to 6-700 and repeat)

Yeah, I was just lightly pressing on the accelerator. It has not repeated the situation nor have I tried to replicate the exact moment either.

Occasionally I feel like when the engine is cold and hit the accelerator lightly for the first time going out of the driveway the truck’s acceleration acts a little spongy/bouncy - hard to explain. Once it’s warmed up no issues at all.

Sounds about like mine TBH but its gotten worse the last 2 weeks. I am about due for an oil change so I'll mention it when I take it in
