    I have 2016 freightliner Cascadia with the dd15 10 speed with 795,000 miles and lately its started to do something funny. It's seems to stall or loose power for a couple seconds at various times. It's not happened a lot but enough to get me to be worried a bit. It seems to happen when I'm turning at slow speeds. Anybody have an idea of what it could be? There's no check engine light on.

    Do some Google research on PNDB for Cascadias. Mine was doing the same thing (2013) and that was the issue. Its a very common problem and its mounted on the firewall. Part was like around $500.00 if I remember correctly, and an easy DIY change. I'd soak the mounting screws good with rust penetrant real good first, as I did bust one of my bolts and had to drill it out.

    Do not know if same issue but you could try to reset your throttle. With key off turn on and press accelerator to the floor 3 or 4 times and then try it. It sounded like hocus pocus when I read it but it solved a hesitation I had when I tried to get going. After that my throttle response was perfect. Your issue sounds a bit different than mine but it cost nothing to try it.
