Where are you seeing this truncation? Can you share some examples of the JSON with the truncated (I assume status body) field?
In the case of retweets in the streaming API, you may see the top-level "text" node with truncated tweet text prepended with "RT " -- but the full text of the original referenced status will be embedded in the retweeted_status/text node: See this example: { "in_reply_to_status_id_str":null, "coordinates":null, "truncated":true, "text":"RT @chocobo_bot: \u3053\u306e
