better out than in
My truck just seems down on power specifically when going up an incline. I just did a tune-up new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. The truck runs much better and seems to have a gained 20% more power on downhills and flat planes. She is still falling on her face climbing a hill...there is no bucking or sputtering..pulling out the choke has no positive effect...just a gradual draw down of oomph. I have a new rad (running cool) and good oil pressure. I just took it on a winding back road using 3rd gear w/the tach around 2500 and i could feel a kick in the bumper as long as i was on a flat stretch or a slight decline. Climbing it fells like it is the equivalent on an automatic stuck in overdrive that won't kick down or having a motorhome w/a 4bbl w/no secondaries.
Any suggestions or is the motor w/259,xxx and all it's smog stuff just tired or carbon clogged
