hello, this is my first post here! just some info ony my truck...
01 1500 4x4 off-road, blacked out on 285/75's, grey leather interior, stock except for 3" single flowmaster 40- catback. hopefully many mods to come.
i have had this truck for about a year now and have a unique problem... looking at past posts i cant find one that is exactly like my problem. up to about 2000 rpm's i have NO power under moderate to full acceleration. it boggs down but it dont do any bucking, missing, backfiring, nothing like that. after 2000 rpm's it will jerk you back in your seat with the power surge. my transmission is acting up too, occasionally it kind of hops around between first and second until it gets up to about 35 or 40 mph, then it shifts fine, its only 1st and 2nd. most of the time it shifts perfect. also, the other day it wouldnt drop to 1st at a stop light until i shifted into first manually. ive heard this is a common problem but i havent heard a solution! the only code its showing is the low-speed output sensor which ive changed 3 times with no difference. i can clear the code, crank the truck, put it in drive, and it throws it right back up! i've done a complete tune-up about 5 months ago with no difference. sorry to ask so many questions right off the bat but i use this truck for my business and cant afford much down time. could this be the TPS, or is this all stemming from the trans? thanks in advance for any help. God bless!
