G'day guys,
Awhile back I took my 4.5m tinny up to tinaroo in FNQ and the hilux struggled towing it over the range. 3rd gear was fine and would rev all the way out but when id grab 4th it would loose all its go and I'd be back down into 3rd and just have to take it as it was.
Last week I had the same issue coming over the Coonabarabran range and was just as a ute with about 250kg on the tray. Was going fine in 3rd (3500rpm) overtaking a truck then grabbed 4th and lost everything and struggled to build rpm and gain speed.
Does anyone else have this issue? Only happens on steeper hills/higher loads on the engine.
I've had the injectors replaced but I'm not getting same economy as I used to on average 100km per tank less. Possible issue with the injectors not tuned?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Josh
