I hate to over simplify, but my truck has been modded quite a bit and still is weak in 4th gear under 40 mph, you sure your truck has a problem other than the gutless 22r? The first thing that popped into my mind when I read the first post was 'welcome to the world of 3200+lb truck, high off the ground, with anemic 95hp engine.'

Power on these guys in 4th gear stock is quite poor. Try shifting into 4th at 40+ mph.

Yeah i know they are but this was significant... Weber and a new distributor fixed this problem for me! Now she runs 80mph on the free way!

It was the distributor for us

We took apart the distributor and found that the bearings in the vacuum advance were Real stiff. We are going to oil it and put it back in and see if that fixes the problem, then if so get a new distributor.
