1999 Ram 1500 Loss of power
Howdy,
Lately I've noticed that my truck just doesn't seem to put out the same amount of power that it used to. It almost seems as though someone put an engine limiter on it. I used to be able to get to about 20 mph in frist, 35-40 in 2nd, 55 in 3rd and higer in 4th... Now I can barely get to 10 mph in 1st, 20 in 2nd and 35 in 3rd. When I'm going up any type of incline it just gets worse. I'm not sure what could be the cause of this problem, I was thinking it was the clutch but I had it replaced about two years ago. Vitals: 99 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9L V6 5 speed manual tranny 74K miles Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Zach

No. That's just like giving a crack dealer money for crack when he says his crack is really good.
My truck has the same setup, and believe me I've tried to blow it up. It's got a 3.9 and a 5 speed, and it will do 50 mph in first gear, and that's with a cat on. I only run it this hard when I'm doing brakestands or something, I hold the brake on hard when the engine is bouncing off the rev-limiter. I couldn't care less.
