Hey gang,
Pulled with my 2 week old (to me) 2002 today. Took my 78 ford on my tandem car trailer 50 miles to a paint shop today with mixed highway, 2 lane driving. First, I was surprised as to how much it was taxing the engine, until I pulled of a ramp and smelled brakes burning and found my drivers e-brake was hung up. After that I could not believe this motor. Pulling my 78 with ease, up grades at 65 mph light pedal would not even be a fantasy in my old 08 super duty. I got 15.5 mpg round trip today, temps in the high 20's.
So, what I'm here to ask is if my power curve is normal. My truck is an auto, and is shifts great. Truck pulls out fine, and when the converter locks up on the highway it pulls my truck and trailer like it was only a sack of cement in the bed. The question I want answered is about 2nd and 3rd gear Its as if the truck runs out of power at 2500 rpm in 2nd, then 3rd gets better but similar. Its as if the truck wont build power after 2500, or that the transmission wont get out of the engines way. I can press the throttle, to the floor but gain in rpm is minimal after 2500. could this be something with the APPS? Its almost as if I'm not getting the fuel I'm demanding in those gears and RPM range. First gear I can take it past 3000 rpm, so will 4th I'm sure of it (though I haven't tried it yet)
How about you other auto guys?
