Truck down on power
Something dont seem right on my truck.. I put everything on stock and was driving around and my truck seems really really weak.. I know I got the triple disc and the 35s on it right now so it would be laggy off the line but its really weak throughout all the rpm and even when cruising.. I remember before I had the transmission done and the truck completely stock it felt stronger then that!! I was watching my RP gauge and cruising at 50mph Im seeing 10k and when I floor it I swear my truck slows down haha.. It will hit 15k and stay there for a bit and then slowly work its way up to 22-23k. But while its working its way up to the higher rp it has like a hesitation.. the rp will drop and then go back up and drop..It just takes forever for it to get up to the higher rp. It just doesn't seem right.. Any ideas. Im about to send my pump off for mods and I don't want to have it modded then it crap out on me!!! I don't have a FP gauge. I need one. The truck shouldn't be fast on stock but dang.. I mean its a DOGGGGGG.. It just doesn't seem right! I remember it being more power on stock before I ever did anything to it. Also when I load the smarty up and put it on any level really it will haul butt pretty good but I can still sometimes notice that fluctuation in the rp... What do yall think?

Ya thats what I thought to... But I remember it having more power! I feel like if I hooked a trailer up behind this thing on stock settings it would struggle to pull it!

I totally agree with the above. Try driving a 500hp truck for a yr then return to stock. It will make you sick to your stomache.
If you absolutely insist on finding something wrong with your truck (LOL) start at the fuel filter, check for codes, etc. You probably won't find anything wrong.

I dunno if its my TC being so tight and having 35s.. But its retarded weak! Like I can floor it at 50mph and I swear it takes 5 or more secs to get to 60!! I checked for codes and theres none..
Like I was saying. I can watch my RP gauge and its at about 10k at 50mph. I floor it and it will slowly go to 15k and it will hang there for quite some time and then really slowly work its way up to 22-23k. But while its ramping up the RP it will fluctuate alot.. Like 17 then 15 then back to 17 its weird..

Nope my rail is capped with Johns cap. I check my oil and no fuel in it so injectors are fine. My trans is brand new and fluid is fine.. My rp does goofy things every now and then.. Im thinking something with my fuel system somewhere is on its last leg or acting goofy.. I am buying a stage 3 pump and I didn't want to send my pump in if theres something wrong with it..

No I don't have injectors and it ramps up to 22k VERY VERY slowly!! And like fluctuates bad around 16-17k.. It will climb to 22k but takes a while. It don't shoot up instantly. Somethings not right
