There is no spark issues, and I just installed a 40 series flowmaster, and that didn't change the way it ran at all, so I am guessing not an exhaust problem.

I know that this is not a transmission problem due to the fact that if I rev the truck in park, it hits around 4k rpm and then starts to lose power.

When driving, I can floor it at 60 mph...and the truck will not accelerate at all nor will the rpm's increase. BUT if I give it half throttle...it runs fine.....
If you need help with yours start a New /Thread on it and someone will help you.
