losing power in my m1009

[84cucv1ton]

truck is stock. just went over it and put it back on the road. few days back felt like i was losing power. everything seemed ok. late last night going up a hill. 1 gear, kinda high rpm. did only about 15mph. so got off the main road and was towed home.


was thinking i might not be getting fuel. seems to idle fine, but put some load on the motor and it bogs

ideas??

thanks

Did you replace the fuel filter? Check for water in the fuel?

Is the transmission slipping? Not shifting into gears?

 

[84cucv1ton]

nope old filter. trany is slipping according to my friend. looks like im pulling my first trany.

one more question, could the fact that the diesel fuel in it is 3+ years old do anything? thanks for the help

Check your transmission fluid.

old diesel could have algae in it, and thus clog the fuel filter or the pickup screen inside the tank.

But I'd lean towards the transmission unless you are having idling issues/running issues with the truck in neutral.

I had a jeep that would randomly slow down almost to a crawl while engine rpm went high. Turned out to be a clogged trans filter would starve the tarnny of fluid. Serviced the trans with new fluid and a filter and never happened again. I would definately start with new fuel, fuel filter and servicethe trans.

well, the th400 was a pint low. that it. just might change fluid so i know its done. next i am draining the tank. see how that goes. change the filter too

 

[84cucv1ton]

well, no luck yet. thought it was ok. took a 1 1/2 drive. took me 3 hours to get there. mid way it happened again. sucked!! so im going to take another look in the am.
