Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) lack of performance after 3kgsk?

[tmassey]

I have a 95 160 horse ram with a 3kgsk and a tst #4 plate slid full forward with the afc spring kit in. it seems to me the truck lays on its face still around 2200 rpms and doesnt pull nearly as hard as it did when it had the stock springs with both a #6 plate and a home ground #0 plate. just replaced the lift pump, gonna check the overflow valve tomorrow, any help would be great!!

Might want to check your govonor lever adjustment, if you haven't already.

yes, i have checked it, hits just below the ramp tip

tighten down both sets of springs 2 clicks then go from there. You may have to adjust the Idle when your done.

when does it seem to fall on its face

it falls flat at about 2100 to 2250 rpms, similar to when it had stock springs but it doesnt pull as hard up to that rpm as it used to

it sound like one of the nut has slipped back a click or two recheck if they are still the same amount give them at least one more click my 3gsk did the same thing and the first time it was because the one nut backed off and they where not the same and then I had to tighten them down more to get it to stop loosen it kick my final setting on the caliper was 60 and it reved and screamed though the gear it actually was more impressive the my 4gsk untill I added injector,

You may want to replace the fuel overflow valve.....
