Prob with Trannie or something else?

I have an '04 6.0 with 127,000, about a week ago i noticed it was taking longer than normal to accelerate when i put the pedal to the floor. Saturday it was having a real hard time, and acted like it was being starved for fuel so I replaced the fuel filters, I got my low end power back but still have nothing on the top end

If i depress the pedal to about 1/4 to 1/2 way down, the truck accelerates just fine and gains speed. If I punch it to the floor, the truck will shift, rev up to 3k and gain speed very very slowly (i'd say about 2-3 mph per second where as it used to put you back in the seat when you'd punch it), but if i start easing off the pedal the truck will shift again and take off.

do you guys think I lost a gear or I've got a band that is just severely stretched or there is something else wrong with the truck

(also all gauges read fine and I've got no lights on the dash)

Haven't had my truck for real long but I have noticed similar symptoms at times. Sometimes has no power from a stop if I push hard on accelerator. I have changed fuel filters also. Subscribing and good luck.

Mine has been ok lately but you might check out the turbo. Maybe a bad VGT solenoid or it could just be dirty and stuck not allowing the vanes to adjust. Try a search and you should find some useful info on cleaning the turbo.

had the same problem with mine and the dealer said the down pipe was cracked and leaking, they replaced it with a new one and it runs great.
