    My truck recently has been struggling for power through first gear and second I believe, it'll rev up to about 2-3k RPMS up until 25-35 mph, what could it be and also where can I get a new tps for the cheapest price

    You're taking it up to 25-35 mph in first gear?

    My bad, it's an automatic so I'm guessing that's be second gear or so, what could be causing it to struggle and shake?

    About a million things. Right now you're at the "doctor something on my body hurts what's wrong?" stage. Start with the basics: any recent mods, fixes, or changes? When was the last tune up? auto tranny fluid change? if it's up to date on ALL maintenance, start checking for problems, dragging brakes, bad bearings, compression check, timing (cam and ignition), etc.

    Well I replaced the tps and it wasn't the problem, which was a PITA and somewhat expensive
