Recently I have been having some new problems. I am having some trouble with what seems like the transmission...?

The truck seems to get into the high rpm's too easily. I can probably have my foot at half throttle and I am pushing 3k rpms. This doesn't seem normal at all, not since I got the truck. I am getting horrible gas mileage, I have a horrible moan/whine when accelerating, and I am getting more knocking from the engine (The inconsistent metal on metal tapping sound).

I love this thing...but good lord I have never had so many issues. Are there any causes of these problems...and or solutions??
 






This might sound stupid, but have you checked your transmission fluid? Maybe it's low or dirty or something simple like that.
 






you know, I haven't. Its probably due to be changed along with my oil.
