    Without knowing the programmer used, or anything else, its a shot in the dark, but it could be your MAF, IAC, or O2/AF sensor.

    3:27 arent giving you power....You should be running 3:73's or higher. I think your pulling a gear that made for a car, and not a truck.

    At least 3:73's...Personally, 4:10's would be best.
