    bump for similar...
    5.3 manual; getting random hesitations under any throttle input/gear/speed. various durations & intensities but frequent.
    i've ran a tank of HEET + storage stabilizer (just had some left), then a tank of 93 with seafoam. i've replaced the fuel filter & pulled/cleaned the injectors.
    no CEL or codes (other than a persistent P0446 whenever i'm below 1/2 tank).
    00 FRC - just top end, exhaust, and a hot-air intake
    99 Sierra - 5.3 / 5spd

    even updated-er update: unplugged the knock sensors & drove around. does the same thing.
    spark plugs & wires look good (plugs have 20k on them since new with cam spring last year).
    is this pointing to coils?

    could i zip-tie on the coils from my LS1 (square style vs the round LM7 ones) to see?
    they have the same main harness connector
