gary i dunno how much help this is gonna be but ill tell you what ive seen that i think is somewhat similar; on my 02 2500 with the cummins diesel it would run poorly until warmed up with poor acceleration/power. that problem got worse and worse but when it first started happening it was just a limited power problem shortly after startup and under acceleration. since we not only have completely different vehicles yours the new body style mine the old body style; yours gas mine diesel it wouldnt hurt to check the fuel pressure at your fuel rail as opposed to checking mine at the injector pump to see if it might be a bit low. you could simply hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the test port on the fuel rail and then run it out to the windshield and duct tape it there and shut the hood and then drive it under your specific condtions and see if the fuel pressure is in the proper range. i dont know where it should be on your truck but a figure that jumps to mind is around 40-50 psi for fuel-injected gasoline engines as evidenced by my 1998 dodge 1500 360 c.i. and my 1990 corvette 350 c.i.. you could buy a factory service manual highly recommended if you plan to keep the truck for any length of time at all even if you normally dont mechanic on your own stuff just so you can kind of keep track of what the service guys are telling you and find out what the correct rail pressure is or buy a haynes manual lots cheaper or ask the service guys at the dealership if you trust them to tell you the truth. another thing and this may sound like im on crack but i promise im not my dads 1998 dodge 1500 360 c.i. yes the same one i mentioned above when i got rid of it i sold it to my dad with 122000 miles on it was running like hell; at startup it would try to die and he was having to use the foot-feed at startup something youre not supposed to do on a fuel injected vehicle as i remember from the days when we went from carburated vehicles to fuel injected vehicles. i talked to a mechanic friend of mine and he suggested cleaning out the throttle body dunno if thats the technical term for it but its basically what it is; below the air cleaner there is a body that has one or more two on my dads/my old truck butterfly valves. i used an old toothbrush and some carb and choke cleaner the cheap stuff from wal-mart and i hosed that thing down and scrubbed around the inside of the housing particularly hosing down the areas that looked like they lead to sensors. it took some effort to get it to start after that my buddy told me the carb and choke sprays would make the engine hard to start the first time after i did it but once it started it ran beautifully and my dad claims that now it not only runs better but seems to have more power. there was definitely a lot of soot build up lots of black gunk built up in the throttle body and i cleaned it out pretty well; i dunno how that made a difference maybe a dirty sensor maybe restricted airflow the butterflies shut so tightly that i could spray a puddle of carb and choke cleaner on top and it would sit there for a bit before draining or maybe evaporating away but it made a huge difference from what little i saw myself and what my dad tells me. in any case im not sure thisll help you but it should all be some things that you can easily check/do yourself and not cost you any money other than the carb and choke cleaner and the shop manual which i really do think is worth its weight in gold. hth. ymmv. please let us know when you find the problem and again when you find the solution. --hc .

my 2000 ram van reads out on the digital odometer. bill -- just a little tip for everyone. chrysler made code reading easy just by using your ignition switch. turn the key on/off three times last cycle ending on and the ecm/pcm/sbec or smec depending on year/model goes into diag mode. pre 2001 cars will reveal codes with ces lamp. 2001 and up will give digital read-out in odometer. save your money from buying a code reader. hope this helps.... .
