: transmission kit question?

When in the performance setting (where I get my best fuel mileage), my truck looses power when I get on it wot. Via this forum I have been told that it is the transmission going into the limp mode.

What can I do to fix this problem at a resonable cost. i.e. shift kit or something of that sort.

Thank's in advance

if your truck was going into limp mode, you have a code and not be able to turn past 1900 rpm. when was the last time you changed your fuel filter?

does it get stuck in a gear or will it not go past 2000 rpms. if its the 2000 rpms then it is a fuel problem. i am betting p1093 code low fuel rail pressure

I suggest that you replace the fuel filter and ---- then install a TransGo Jr. shift kit- that will help your trans live a little longer. The transmission LOVES clean fuel to the engine! :rolleyes:

It doesn't seam to get stuck in a gear, it just feels like it is not pulling like it should. I also noticed the boost psi and it only went to 21 on the outlook monitor.

During my drive today I will check the rpm's, the shifting pattern and the boost psi and get back to you.

During my drive earlier I pulled out on the road and mashed it to the floor and the rpm's were around 3000 and the boost guage read 21psi. That was on the performance setting. I put it on tow at the next stop and it also went to 21psi.

I stopped at the auto parts and picked up a fuel filter and am going to install it tomorrow.

p.s. What are the proceedures for installing the fuel filter. Do I need to fill with fuel prior to the install. I haven't even looked to see where it goes.
