Boatnt... It does have some different shifting points when it is acting up. It seems to shift out of the gears faster, I will be in overdrive by 35mph. Some times it will not shift into 3rd until 3000 kinda erratic.
Will have that checked out.
Thanks all for the suggestions

Quick update:
The last few days the truck has been running pretty good, slight hesitation above 60% throttle.
I disconnected the mass air, put in a known good mass air and TPS with no change.
This weekend I will hook up a fuel pressure gauge and do a back pressure test on the cats.
I hooked it up to my brothers Snap on Solus and it had no stored codes and all checked good.
As always, thanks

Another update:
Fuel pressure checked out good.
There was a small measurable amount of back pressure on the passenger side cat.
I replaced the TPS.
Today I replaced the battery and now all hesitation has gone away. I can put it to the floor and it runs
great.
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I hope this was it.

Rookie: Sometimes all it takes is a battery. These vehicles are sensitive to that and it seems strange that a battery will "function" but not allow a vehicle to run right.
