Sounds like it's that "seamless transitioning" between 8 and DoD mode.

The only effective way to disable DoD is through tuning or driving with you PRNDL selector in 3, or you could always try to stay on the throttle!

Welcome to the forums ...

Mine always does that when I'm driving lightly at first I almost thought that it was the tranny but its just the 8 kickin in. I don't like the DOD technology in this car so HP on the dyno tune is coming my way.
