Why is my truck hesitating so badly now?

@Ciel
It’s a 2015 with about 155,000 miles. I hadn’t considered it might be a transmission issue. I was leaning toward the cam phasers being the problem. What exactly do bad phasers do?

Bad phasers make the engine sound rough when starting. Mine rattles pretty loudly, but it doesn’t affect driving. With your mileage, though, I’d lean toward it being a transmission issue. I’d have it checked out just to be sure.

@Ciel
I’ll do that. Thanks for the advice. I really don’t want this to turn into a bigger problem.
