ok well im running the 37" open country mt's with 4.88 gears. the motor feels gutless cause i have to rev it pretty high just to get going. when i take it up hills second gear wont even do the trick it just starts bogging out. i dont know what the deal is...

How's your intake and exhaust? Cat. converter might be plugged. O2 sensor could be bad and causing the ecm to run lean. Check your timing? You might wanna double check the gears! 37" you should be running 5.29, but it would be a dog if they are 4.10's! These are just ideas to check.

i run 35s, stock engine and gears, 5speed and i go up 6% grades in 3rd gear, 55mph.
it has no accel on the hills... but in town it does fine.

so id think you have engine problems... like cheesemaker stated.
and i dont think the 4.88s are true...
and try 2low... see if its any better... or too low

mikestoyokrawler · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 04:29:37 PM »

the exhaust and intake are stock so im thinkin that if i cut the exhaust and put a new aftermarket intake i should get some more power. and i know the timing is a little off so that could be a big problem. and the gears i know for sure are 4.88 caus i bought them brand new from yukon..

a few degrees of timing can put these little motors on their face,

mikestoyokrawler · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 05:02:50 PM »

im gonna have to check and fix the timing cause if thats the case of why i really dont have power that would be awesome. but if it is still really gutless then i dont know what to do

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 05:26:49 PM »

how long has it been since the timing chain was replaced?? that stretched chain can cause significant power loss

mikestoyokrawler · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 05:32:40 PM »

honestly i have no idea cause i just bought the truck like a month ago and the motor is pretty clean and it looks like the motor might have been rebuilt but im not sure. i will check all that and see if thats my problem

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 06:08:44 PM »

pull the valve cover and look down the chain and see if those guides are where they should be

mikestoyokrawler · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 07:23:54 PM »

cool ya ill check that i hope thats the problem cause i dont have a whole lot of money to spend just to get it goin

jimbo74 · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 07:26:13 PM »

timing chain kit from www.engnbldr.com is pretty cheap, get the upgraded steel guide

mikestoyokrawler · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 19, 2007, 08:59:02 PM »

oh cool thanx that is pretty cheap but i will check all the timing and timing chain

THK Matt · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 20, 2007, 01:16:51 AM »

let us know.
i noticed i got some power back a few weeks ago when i had mine done.
all new timing kit.

mikestoyokrawler · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 03:23:17 PM »

ya i got the timing done and it was off by 3 degrees. now the truck runs way better but it still seems a little sluggish starting off but once i get goin i have no problem. and the timing chain looks brand new so i dont have to worry bout that

thank you guys for all the help
