G'day all,

I'm Jim from Caloundra and I'm looking for some advice?

I've got a 2012 3L Auto Patrol with 2 inch lift, 33 inch Coopers, Roo Systems chip and exhaust. My problem is when towing my camper trailer I have a lack of power- it's great when I'm just driving it on it's own but since I've put on the 33's , as soon as I'm loaded with the camper on, it's struggling up hills and the EGT will easily push to 650 degrees.

I know a cross country intercooler will help me with the temperature but it's the lack of power when towing that I'd like to fix. Should I change the diff gearing back to standard and what diff gears should I put in?

Anyone got any advice?
Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim and welcome You might be better off posting your question in the Drive train section, Not many read the intros.
But having said that jump in anytime and enjoy.
Clean/check the Maf and start Fitting NADS

Don't tow in 5th gear always keep your rpm above 2000 and on boost
