For the Reno Ride, we borrowed my brother-in-law's truck & towed a heavy duty 5x10 utility trailer w/ 2 bikes, gear etc. It has roughly 150k miles on it, tranny is fine. But in the mountains, we struggled to hold 60 mph on the climbs, and barely held 55 on the steepest inclines.
Does this sound right? I expected a lot more torque. Right before we left, he changed the oil/filter & fuel filter and ran a tank of fuel treatment. The air filter was clean. Any ideas?
He's thinking of taking the injectors out & having them cleaned, but what else can we do? He has moderate mechanical skills (FAA certified Airframe & Pwerplant mechanic).
