    @farwest110 If it is drive by wire that explains the lag when you hit the gas because its controlled by an electric motor not a cable. and the clunk is probably the driveline loading back up they have some slack in them and that can cause a clunk

    lol how about 1st gear doesn’t slip, (weak engine btw) and then 2nd/3rd/4th/5th slips past 4k or full throttle. Its a worn clutch for sure, its getting replaced tomorrow with a new master cylinder and slave cylinder (precautionary) but what a pain when driving. Cant even hit the highway right, luckily I got a great suspension and great tires so I can build speed on the off ramp away from traffic and by the time I hit the highway I’m already at 60 or 70 mph and can just jump right in.

    you might have a striped gear or your flywheel is missing a tooth or two. it may also be that your engine is misfiring or your tranny just needs to be replaced.

    basically it can be a ton of things but thing I would do is have a mechanic drop the tranny and have a look inside.
    It could even be that when you accelerate your truck your differential is shot.

Then, when i go to give it gas, a split second hesitation and then a horrible “CLUNK” befor i get power again. They are sayin its “normal”………B.S. please help if you have heard of this, thanks.
