hard to accelerate

i just had my tranny rebuilt and put dual disk southbend clutch in. And now when i drive down the highway and if your running between 50 and 60 ish and floor it it wont hardly accelerate its like it just hangs and after a bit it will start rising slowly. I was wondering if anyone else had ever had that problem. Any feedback will be very helpfull thanks

I had that same problem a while back. Believe it or not, it turned out it was just a dirty fuel filter. I took it to the dealer and they said they replaced the filter and it ran like a top. Needless to say, I was a little skeptical. I got the truck back and drove it, sure enough, it ran great. Next time that happens, a clean fuel filter will be the first thing that goes in. I don't want to pay the dealer $60 to change it again, lol.
