96 Ford F250 3rd gear lag???
I have a basically bone stock 96 ford f250 7.3L PSD. The only mods that are done is the Tymar intake mod, and a 3in down pipe to 4in pipe comming out before the back tire. Ever since i have bought the truck it seems like once it shifts into 3rd gear it becomes a turtle till i get the rpm's back up. Is there anything i should look for to help fix this?

If you have a 2wd, my guess is that you probably have 3.55 gears which will dog on higher gears with 33" tires. My buddy has a 4 door 250 with the7.3, 3.55 gears, and 33" tires. It dogged a bit, specially when shifting into 3rd, 4th, and overdrive (when he had the E4OD). He swapped in a 5 spd and added a 100hp tune with a 3" down-pipe which fixed the lack of power issue. LOL If you have a 4x4, my guess is that you have 4.10 gears which is what I have. I have an unknown tune (its how i bought it), stock down-pipe, 5 spd, and am running 32" muds. My truck is a beast. but the gears in the back end help tremendously. Try the tune, and if that doesn't help, I would go with a 5sp, 31" tires, or re-gear. If you have a dually, then you may have the 4.55 gears, in which case, you may just need the tune (or your trans is weak).
