Engine shudder and acceleration delays

When going to speed up around a corner or a turn, the engine will shudder and the acceleration is delayed by a few seconds.
Hesitates to start after sitting over night
Chevrolet Silverado 2011 Chevy silverado 1500 5.3l 130000 miles
Let me start by saying I replaced mass air flow sensor and fuel pump so far but the issue still occurs when I start the truck in the mornings it acts like it's not getting enough fuel but once it's started it idles and runs just fine if I start it soon after it starts fine as well only does that after a few hours of sitting. Anything you all recommend to check other than fuel injectors as those are gonna be tested today?

Look at your rpm gauge if its jumping up and down while driving it needs a torque converter
What do you mean jumping up and down? By how many rpms? 100 or like 1000? This is while I'm giving it gas going down the road correct?
CommentWhen accelerating the truck seems to stall or yank back.
Chevrolet Silverado 2020 Z71 Trial boss 136000 miles
When I'm accelerating past 45 miles per hour, the truck seems to yank back or stutter ever since the oil was changed. It did not do this prior to the last oil change, that's the only thing that changed prior to this problem.

Comment2007 Chevy Silverado bucking after warm-up when shifting gears (no cod
Chevrolet Silverado 2007 200000 miles
Have a 2007 Chevy Silverado and I’m dealing with a bucking/jerking issue when driving. When I first start the truck cold, it runs fine with no problems. But after it warms up, it starts bucking, especially when shifting gears or accelerating.
There are no check engine lights and no transmission codes showing. I’ve already tried unplugging the purge valve — when unplugged there’s no suction, but when plugged back in it pulls suction like normal.
The truck idles fine and can cruise at highway speeds (70–75 mph) without major issues, but the problem shows up more during acceleration or gear cha… Read complete

I have the same issue on my 2015 5.3L 4x4. Was going down the road a month ago in 2 wheel drive but had used 4 wheel drive a few times the hour before hand. I get to a stop sign at the top of a hill and start to take off when the truck struggled to take off. RPM's go up but truck didn't move much. I guess the slop of the hill got me rolling to the correct speed limit but once I slowed down for a curve I pressed the accelerator & it was like the transmission was out. The truck had no pulling power. RPM's went up but no acceleration. Then I received a low tire message. I pulled over aired the tire up, locked in 4 wheel drive hi & drove on home. Have since drove the truck but am scared it's going leave me stranded or worried I'm just going to make the issue worse by driving it. It does the rough shifting only after it's warmed up on occasion. Is the transmission going out? Did the 4 wheel drive not disengage & it have a safety something where the tire was so low? Is it a sensor, torque converter, etc making it shift crazy? If anyone could help me with this I'd appreciate it. This truck was once my deceased son's truck that I bought back from someone after he passed & I want to have it in the best working condition. It has 104k miles on it now. Thanks in advance & have a blessed day. P.S. I have a Bully Dog tuner on it and it reads no diagnostic issues or codes.
CommentStarts but doesnt have throttle
Chevrolet Silverado 2007 1500 0 miles
I have a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and I can start it but it doesn't rev up nor does it have any throttle when I push the gas pedal. On my dash underneath my speedometer it says reduced engine power. I cant figure out whats wrong with it. It started this after taking off from a stop sign. Also my brake lights and tail lights dont work anymore they stopped working before the throttle thing happened. Also when i go to take off from a stop my truck jerks really hard its done that since i bought the truck. Theres 3 problems i dont have the solution for so Can someone please help me. I dont exactly remember how many miles are on it.
