Bad APPS ?

I'm not happy with the way truck runs. Seems sluggish when leaving a stop sign. Noticed that my APPS reaches 100% before my pedal is to the floor. I tried to calibrate it a couple times, but no difference.

My 05 dually is what I'm referring to. Truck seems lazy on the bottom. No dead pedal. Just trying to narrow down if I should look at engine or tranny.

What kind of fuel pressure are you seeing? Change the fuel filter recently?

Fuel rail pressure checked out fine. Fuel filter doesn't have many miles on it. Sometimes, when I leave a stop sign and it seems doggy, I can pull gear selector to 1st and it will downshift. Most times, it doesn't make a difference. I have a new transmission throttle valve actuator motor to install and try.
