>>>*Just curious, are you getting a check engine light?


No, no CE light thankfully. I passed smog here in CA with flying colors after an OEM cat was sourced.

I show one in my files with that exact symptom, we fixed it by installing a 50% restricter in the vaccum line to the EGR valve. Odd one that one was..


How do I get my hands on, or make, a restrictor for the vacuum line? I'll try anything!

BTW: On the highway I assume you are running at a lower RPM? Nice response offroad should be nice response on road, unless off powerband.....*EB


I drive it like a reasonable person. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Seriously, I do. But if I head up to the foothills, it's 3rd gear time if I want to stay over 50mph on a hill. What really burns me is having to dip in to 2nd over a couple of passes over the Sierras. Passing? Forget it. Once I lose momentum, I couldn't pass a Greyhound towing a tractor. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

It runs smooth with the exception of a fluctuating idle.

I know it's no sports car, but it's too slow.

When I take it off road, it's unreal. It's been about a year now and I still can't believe how strongly it pulls off road. It will pull like a goat right off of idle in a gear or two higher than normal. If it weren't a daily driver, I wouldn't complain about a lack of power on road so much.

My apologies to outdoorfan. I didn't intend to hijack your thread.
