Default 0-60mph

In my 98 dodge cummins it has a rebuilt automatic transmission about 6k miles ago. It seems to me like it shifts slow as heck. It takes me about 27sec to get from 0-60mph on a flat highway. My question is that does that sound about right or is something wrong? It ussally shifts pretty good tell about 0-40, but that 40 to 60 is very slow.

I had the exact same problem. I did the the basic stuff, moved the fuel plate forward all the way, the AFC housing forward all the way, played with the starwheel a bit, capped the wastegate hose and cut out the muffler and put in a straight section. now my truck is an animal.


next come the 4000 rpm governor springs and 60lb exhaust valve springs, a new fuel plate, torque converter, and valve body. then 5" turbo back exhaust. then... and then..... and then....


this is my wife.

even on a bone stock truck you should do 0-60 faster than 27 sec
