You've changed temperature and humidity with the move. You'll need to tweak your tuning.

And elevation. A lot thinner air in VT.

witch way i have tried everything i can think of is it maybe the engine is just wore out?

post up a video. If it runs great on other surfaces, its not you tune.

Kinda what i was thinking, but i remembered

" it is better to be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt"....


With it running good on pavement, dirt and such... low friction surfaces... and it slows in grass... alot more friction... i wonder if clutch shoes might be worn out, or glazed over... much like a rotor on a real car.

i was thinking same thing if it runs like a rape ape on the pavement or dirt or gravel why would it bog my thinking was maybe the battered engine dont like the extra friction and pull it has against it in the grass

and when i get someone here to hold video camera and record while i drive it in road and grass ill post it up

 

[flm_savage]

post up some other specs so we know what you have,

tires, gears, clutch, etc

Did U buy the truck New ?? a easy way to tell if your engine is shot is by how much fuel u r using r u getting 15-20 min on a tank or more or less ?? if u notice your run time time is not how it used to be and u r using more fuel then your compression is getting bad ... more fuel usage as the fuel is sealing the engine to get the compression up
