I have a cat C-15 MXS factory 625hp that has a complete PdI on it. In a 2006 Peterbilt 379. I get a dead spot in the throttle as i shift gears when taking off first thing in the mourning. Almost seems like my drive wheel slipped on a patch of ice, but only for a split second. I don't notice when loaded, or when truck has been running all day. I have replaced the tps on the foot pedal. Anyone have any ideas?

What does the RPMS do when it does this?

You could have one of the engine speed sensors dropping out (crank or cam), it will run fine just reading the one engine speed sensor, you probably have a code stored in the ECM telling which sensor but it will not throw the check engine light on for that code.

Those issues you mention are common if the output yolk on the trans is loose which could be a sign the output shaft bearing is on its way out. -
