Ok this is something that had happened to me since day one of my truck, whenever I start to run low on fuel the engine will take off like a rabbit.
So to understand, imagine I am driving with my foot on the accelerator maintaining 45 down the road. All of the sudden the rpms will skyrocket and the truck will take off! This is with my foot never moving the pedal in the slightest. If I want to them get back down to the rpms I was running I will have to let off the pedal a bit but the truck still sounds louder. I know it is something with the fuel cuz it will also happen when low on fuel and turning a corner. Then it will surge and once the fuel settles in the tank it wil return to normal.
It's actually a nice feature for me so I know I'm running low on fuel. Lol. I just am confused as to why the rpms jump up and the truck takes off. I would think air in the lines would cause the truck to spudder. But then again I am a young'n and not super experienced with these trucks.
