over the last 5 years it has gotten worse and worse.... I have had it into 3 different shops and nobody can figure it out.... heres the problem..
When the machine gets hot...... it starts to loooose power, almost like the parking break is on. (which I disconnected) It has gotten to the point over the years that now when it is hot I can't even load it back into the truck, it almost sounds like it is going to backfire. I either have to let it sit for an hour or so to cool... or find a stream to ride thru to cool it off. Once thru the water... It is back to full power and speed, that is until it gets hot again in 10-15 minutes.
It has a K&N filter and a fmf megamax, and was also "rejetted" by one of the shops.
The last shop found the slide diaphram was leaking and so they "repaired it" and solved the problem. They were wrong. It still sucks.
I have flushed the oil cooler system, ran some gas additive/cleaner thru the system, attempted to clean the disks of the fmf (they are unable to remove now. (rust)
any suggestions??? I have run out of shops in my area to take it to... and they all say there is nothing they can do.
