Over the last few months I have been having power and rev troubles. Vehicle will start off at about 120 to 130kms an hour, at about 2900 revs. Slowly but surely the vehicle will slow down till I can only achieve 2000 revs in all gears so reducing speed to about 80kmh esp while towing my boat.

I have changed fuel filters, mucked around checking there is no air in the system by opening an injector etc, but all to no avail.

Any one able to offer me a hand here? Its peak barra season and traveling 400 ks at 80 kmh is not fun.

Thanks

Have you had the pump checked lately? They are ok cold ,but when the pump warms up it loses pressure.
Yours sounds a bit young for pump problems,but it has the symptoms.
The everyday high speed wont help

I would also check the mesh filter in the pump where the fuel line plugs in and the fuel pick up in the tank
