20-25 SPEED

I have a New to me 1997 f-350 Crew 7.3L 4x4 long box Auto 4.10 rear, just 241k miles on it.

The speed limit in my neighborhood is 25, when leaving I find it a bit hard to drive 20-25. Kind of an odd thing, almost like there is a dead spot in my foot feet or throttle, I need to step it down further than I should. I feel the same thing when just leaving my driveway, or a parking lot. Driving down the highway the truck performs perfect.

No modifications yet on this truck, well , none that I've seen or noticed. I do have a 4" elbow and filter on order! And I might have to try the 10K ohm resister mod, plus the down pipe will definitely get replaced in the future!

Please let me know what you think.

There is a TPS on the trucks just like a gas truck, except its on the go pedal down under the dash.
