Recently I have been noticing that my truck is taking off from lights very slowly. The problem gets worse in higher elevations. In fact, it is scary to make a left hand turn at the higher elevations. Truck has exhaust, intake and EDGE. I have disconnected the edge and the problem is still there. Even the EDGE doesn't feel like it did. The truck barely smokes even on level 4. Any Ideas????

PS, the truck has 35" tires on it, however they have been on their since 500 miles. The truck has nearly 9K now. On the edge O-60 Times, the best I have ever gotten on level 5 power breaking off the line was 9.2

Didn't you grenade your tranny with the Quad tuner or am I mistaken ?? Did you change the TC??

LOL - good one Mac - I noticed the same thing on my ride after I lifted it and put 305's on, it was more apparent with the quad box than without it or with the new TTS Tow Tune ( not as noticeable as with the quad) but it is noticeable over a stock ride which i believe is due to the lift and wheel size. Steve @ TTS actually made the same observation on my truck after he drove it and i could only conclude that it was the lift/wheel difference

I thought the 0-60 time was faster than that stock.Do you know what it is stock?

Running larger tires will compromise gear ratio ... Compile that with turbo lag and I'd imagine you'll see a difference out of the hole ....
Maybe he cooked his turbo with the Quad box and she ain't so variable no more .... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gif

I am leaning towards the turbo as well. However, wouldn't the truck be smoking alot more with a stuck vane or bad turbo. I mean, less air = more fuel after. Or does the computer compensate so well that this will not happen. It barely smokes on the Edge level 5, I also am noticing that the trucks top end is alot worse also. Maybe the vanes are stuck midway.... Any more info would be great. Truck has a triple disc converter as well as other upgrades. I am dropping it off at the dealer tomorrow for this and a few other problems.

I didn't realize that the Edge was available yet for the LLY.
