Carpet in the way

I have noticed that with my stock carpet and my floormats that my go pedal doesnt get all the way to the floor. Sometimes i hit it and it downshift hard but i give it my all at the very front of the pedal and it kicks again. My max rpm when i hit it is around 3500 is this normal or should i be getting more rpms???

do you have the thick winter floormats? factory floormats are carpet and should not be anywhere close to restricing the movement of the pedal for saftey concerns.

That psd shouldn't be revving much higher than 3500 rpms. It may get expensive.

I think your right. My 04 upshifts at about 3500 when I've got my foot down. I don't think too many high rpm shifts aren't great for a diesel.
