pressure is good in all cylinders. and yeah iv'e had it for like 5 months.. probably overthinking a normal running engine. I'm used to mopar they get ****** with it. even the straight 6.

I did a full ignition tune up plugs wires cap and rotor, and the cat is brand new with a glasspack behind it as of last week. surprised me when I found two cats staged under there... have not checked the o2 sensor I have no codes so didn't even think about it. It has around 230k planning on checking the fuel filter tomorrow; aswell as taking the intake off and doing a little cleaning/ gasket matching. If I swap some lower gears in the axles i'm nervous about loosing my top end speed on the highway. Right now it will do 70 at 250 rpm under 3k... not the most comfortable engine speed to me, but it is only half before red line. Lines up with where my american trucks run at. and yes Kansas has hills... its FAR from flat plains out here (unless your in western Kansas)..

oh come on i'm hoping for a miracle cure! lol It needs a 4bt swap I guess.

I have a question for the more experienced pathy owners. I have a 1995 xe with the 3.0 a 5 speed and 4.375:1 lsd on both ends. It has the calmini 3" lift with all the goodies minus the beefy tie rod ends (soon). I am running 32x11.5x15 tires. This truck has no good acceleration, doggy up hills in 5th and 4th, and god forbid I put a trailer behind it. I have had my share of mini trucks with 4 bangers and a couple 6 cylinder trucks. I realize they are under powered, but when I hit a hill with a buddy in the truck doing 65+ mph and I have to shift down when in 5th gear its running over 2k rpm already I start to wonder if there is something wrong. Ive already went through the exhaust, no plugged cats and it has a 28" glass pack on it now. All new iridium plugs and 8mm plug wires. Im at a loss now, and hope somebody else has had this issue and figured it out. "winter is coming" and I will be pulling a 5x8 trailer to get wood soon. Hope i can make it up the hills going faster than 25mph.. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Yes that was a game of thrones reference.....
