I mentioned in one of my posts that my truck's power band is off, and that at 40 mph and up, when I floor it, it just gradually climbes and doesn't seem very responsive to flooring the accelerator pedal. I was talking with a mechanic buddy who knows a hell of a lot more than I do about Chevy transmissions, and he brought up some interesting points about the rear end affecting the speed sensor readings.
My speedometer reads from a cable in the transfercase (the stock 208), and the 4l60e communicates to the engine through a VSS sensor sitting in an adapter between the transmission and transfercase. I feel pretty confident that I put the sensor in correctly, and I know that it is at least somewhat working, but the Blazer's rear end (a 3.73 ratio) might be screwing up the transmission spline speed that the VSS is reading, right?
In short, here is my issue: before I hit 25 MPH, the transmission has shifted 4 times, then there isn't anything left for power at higher speeds and rpms. I don't know how to fix this issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
