Turbo Boost
Check your linkage...when pedal is to the metal, the governor arm should be
fully stroked. You most likely are not getting 'full' throttle. Getting WOT
(Wide Open Throttle) is important for proper transmission function and the
Cruise Control will work better also. The EGT will likey be elevated if you are
not acheiving full throttle.

If you have the Bendix Air Throttle check the CC-5 clylinder for leaks and
sticking piston/o-rings. Mostly just simple maintenance item the can be
performed by an owner/operator or any truck shop. I would not suggest an RV
dealer...find a guy who can repair a dump truck.
