sounds like you need a tune up

Moved to the maintenance area because I felt it belonged here, not in offroad.

How many miles you got on it? That would be a good place to start... Also, what gears do you have for those 36's? If they're still stock, its going to be sluggish...

 

[slayermike]

this is a better place isn't it. it's got 3:73's but it used to be fine with the 35's and it's on 33's for the road right now and it's got 77000 km's and it's defentaly lost power

Yeah it could probably use a tuneup. Couple of things to check:

Is the temp guage in the same place it has always been? If its colder you may have a stuck-open thermostat, which won't let the engine warm up fully.

How old are the spark plugs? If they're new they might need replacing, don't forget to gap them correctly.

I'd also get it regeared, 3.73's and 36's is hell on your tranny.

also are you getting a service engine soon light?
