I have a 2005 9400i International with a Cummins engine. I'm experiencing an issue where when I'm bobtailing and at a stop light, I attempt to come out of 3rd - 5th gear and when I press the gas the truck bounces like I'm in the wrong gear, this doesn't happen when I'm hooked to a trailer. I took it to the shop and they don't know what the problem. Has anyone experienced this problem? Thanks.

Bobtail:

"Bobtailing" means you are driving a tractor without a trailer attached.

What is this bobtail you speak of. No such thing in flatbed. For me anyway
