Loosing powr

[statok]

Hey,

I have noticed over the last couple of days my patrol isn't running as good as it use to.

I can be travelling at 110ks on the high way get to even a slight hill it starts to slow down.

When im driving along the road i live on i use to be able to drive along the road doing 90ks no worries in 5th gear. Now i have to pull it back to 4th.

The take off is alot slower.

Also i just got home and checked how many ks ive travelled on this tank and ive gotten 750ks out of main tank of diesel and the sub tank. Last time i got 972.

Any thoughts?

Could it be the micky thompson MTZ tyers i just put on it?

Cheers

Personally I don't notice a huge diffrence between roadies and muddys and I run both ( stock Bridgestone tyres and 33" mtz).
I more notice the larger tyres and Ive worked out there's about a 2 ltr per100km diffrence between stock and 33"s.
Did you upgrade tyre size or are they just the tread pattern that's diffrent

I updated my tyer size. to 285 75 16.

To me its just not running right. The turbo is working like it use to its just loosing guts. fair enough its only a 2.8ltr but i dont know. Glow plug maybe

What about fuel filters, are they due for a change? Have you changed where you refuel?

[statok]

I changed my fuel filter today. I did actually. Before i used bp ultimate diesel but this time ive used caltex vortex. Its really annoying me.

See what happens when you go back on BP dieso...

When i changed the fuel fitler was grey jelly like stuff in the bottom of it when i emptied it out.

Might want to add some dieso fuel conditioner in the tank too...

[statok]

Will do! Just wish i was a mechanic
