Default Stalling when taking off in 2nd

I've had my south bend DD clutch for over a year almost two. Well when taking off in 2nd unloaded or 1st loaded I almost never had to give it any gas. The clutch would just engage the rpms would chugg down to 4-500 rpm and pull away. But lately loaded or not if I take of that way if the rpms drop below say 700 rpm it just shuts off. It runs great every where else. No codes or anything. The only thing I've really noticed is a little drop in milage this summer I've been getting 16ish down from 18 ish always hand calc.
Any ideas?

how is your fuel pressure and rail pressure?

if its anything like the 2nd gen 24v's it should definitely not be stalling...

I can put my truck in 3rd gear, mash the brake pedal to the floor and dump the clutch and it will start burning rubber...wont stall, and clutch wont slip either. (also have a south bend DD) thing auto fuels itself pretty hard if rpm's drop below 800.

Il have to check I had no codes and I really haven looked into anything yet. I was just curious if anyone else experienced it. Il check fuel pressures il try and bring my scanner home to check high side.

So per scan tool I'm running 46000kpa at idle and I saw about 145,000 kpa under boost. So 7100psi-21000psi il have to check low side when I get a chance
