Stop/Start hesitation or momentary rough start

[shawnz28]

Got my 2025 semi recently... My last two rams were hemis without the stop start function. My question is when the stop engages at a red light or stop sign when hitting the gas peddle to take off is a bit of hesitation for lack of a better term normal? Takes a second or two once hit the gas for it to feel smooth.

Yes - why I disable it when I first start it every time.

My truck doesn’t have A/S/S, but my wife’s Navigator does. I dislike it greatly, particularly because you can jump off the line without that little pause while the engine cranks back up. What I’ve found to be beneficial is this: a second or two before I come off the brake and go (like when the light turns green), I let off the brake just a little. Not even enough to move forward, but just enough so that the engine turns back on. That way, it’s ready to go when I am.
