uggg help plz
hey i got a 97 dodge ram 1500 sport with the 5.2L and i was driving back home towing a small trailer, well i hit the O/D OFF button on the dash and then turned it back on, a few minutes later i realized that there was a severe loss in power, and the engine sound just isnt the same, kinda a weaker sound to it at idleas well as when pushing down on the gas. no check engine light or anything and i have checked fuses and what not but i dont know, my haynes book is at my friends house and he doesnt get back to town until late. i also cant get it to our on post shop to get a computer hooked up to it so...... any ideas?

Re: Re: uggg help plz
just about to hit 90k but i think i might know what helped it, too much oil burnt can cause this right? well, i am a dirtbike rider and always have a can of 2 cycle mix gas and a regular gas can on hand, can you guess what can my buddy threw in my truck when he ran it out of cas the last time? yeah.... genuis, i didnt think it would hurt it too bad so i just threw normal unleaded on top of it. well i guess that kinda speeds the whole process up huh. oh well, i was planing on puttin on some flow masters so i will do that now along with the new cat, lookin at about 460 all said and done
