2007 5.9 auto hesitation for a few seconds from dead stop

The truck is a 2007 2500 mega cab 5.9 auto. I just bought this truck. It doesnt seem to do this when i first get in the truck from sitting awhile. When I take off from a dead stop the truck will not go for a few seconds then finally kicks in and goes. There is also quite a bit of driveline vibration going on that may or may not be related. I checked for codes and nothing comes up. Please help.
Your transmission may be in limp mode. This can be caused by a bad solenoid/sensor combination. I experienced the same thing - and only later realized it was because it was starting out in 3rd - aka limp mode.

Stop driving it. Check out the solenoid/sensor. I had the same problem just after buying mine. The dealership may have erased the code before selling it to you.
