2) Under what conditions in a throttle-by-wire, electronic spark timing vehicle like ours should the engine management system deliver a fuel/air change that does not ignite? Please highlight how the vehicle operator is responsible for making this occur.
The owner's manual does highlight the use of the O/D lockout button for situations which cause the engine management system to hunt between gears. That is NOT the situation described in this thread.
Waiting for a well reasoned answer.

You have a problem with your truck, plain and simple. Take it to the dealer and let them fix it.

I can hold the pedal to the floor and still nothing, usually it takes me pumping the gas pedal 2-3 times before it will drop down a gear and take off
