Default High Speed Problem

So I finally got my truck running again. When I floor it now, as soon as I hit what I believe is the shift point, the car stutters, slows down a bit, and continues on. It does the same thing when I start slowing down (when it would have to shift out of 2nd gear) Could this be something with the clutch?

Your probably running to lean or too rich. You sure you had gas when you were runnin it? Because its sounds like my truck when I'm out of gas.

I definitely had gas. I was just running it today and y-day as well. It also tends to stall out when I go from idle to WOT or just when I get back on the gas hard after a turn or something. That I know is not the tranny. Thanks.

It has been cold lately so I have been running it pretty rich. Lots of blue smoke and relatively slow response. The response is probably just the low speed needle though.

Try leaning out the LSN then and see if that helps out. If you richened up the HSN then the LS setting was altered too, so you have to lean it out a little to stop it from bogging down at low speeds from excessive fuel.
