Stuttering under slight acceleration?

[Smerberj]

So I've noticed on a few occasions while gently on the throttle to gain speed on the highway my truck seems to "sputter", if you will, but if I give it more gas it stops. It's almost as if it doesn't know which gear to go into on the slight acceleration but once I punch it, it makes up its mind. Anyone else have these issues? Seems to only happen from 50 - 65ish mph.

What happens when you engage manual shift mode while experiencing this "sputtering"?
Does the sensation go away?

It could be the displacement on demand if the cylinder reduction is active. Generally if you give it more throttle, it kicks in the other cylinders, but it does feel as if its stumbling a bit if youre using light throttle.

I'll check next time I experience it. My truck didn't do it at all today.
