Got my truck back from the shop after they upgraded my injectors and the truck was driving great at first but then randomly on my way to work the next day it started doing this thing where if i take off from a stop it just seems like its shifting super early and putting my foot to the floor does nothing i get no output change from the truck, Its still accelerating just at really low rpms like its driving in OD?

Sounds like the transmission shift cable became disconnect. If the shop did not get it snapped back on securely it could have popped off while driving.

ok just want to post an update for anyone who finds this thread later, the shop looked it at for me and it was the TPS sensor it was bad, spring was not springy at all. When they replaced the injectors it was probably ready to go and that much pushed it over the edge.
