    When was the last time your thermostat was changed? I say that because it almost sounds like the thermostat is sticking.

    Wow well at least the issue is solved. I absolutely hate the way the pump/filer is set up on our trucks.

    Tough power loss issue

    Well I got the manifold gasket changed and the plenum plate/gasket changed. Truck temp runs a few degrees cooler and the heater will cook you out. The truck sounds better but I still have terrible acceleration and power. Not sure what route to go next.

    I know it may sound simple but did you trace the line and check it at each contact point?

    Tough power loss issue

    Yeah I saw some notes of people saying the leak was allowing oil to make it to the plugs resulting in a misfire. I'm a tad nervous about the Wednesday project and I think I've watched Matt Paynes videos about 5 times now.

    Tough power loss issue

    So to update, I will be ordering the parts to do a plenum/intake gasket change and I'll see about changing that thermostat. I plan to do this on Wednesday. I'll post an update by Wednesday afternoon. Also, what problems can valve cover gaskets cause if they fail?

    Tough power loss issue

    Yeah I'll be running a compression test when the weather clears up here. I also plan to check the plenum gasket. I went to change out the ignition coil and the bottom screw was so soft that when I turned the socket it striped it.... 10/10. Added a note to things i've noticed with this issue...

    Tough power loss issue

    A while ago ( 5 months ) I noticed a drastic loss in power. When I floor it the truck takes it's time getting up to speed. When on the interstate going 65+ it almost refuses to accelerate. It even has a tough time keeping highway speed going up hills. Sometimes it feels like it just wont down...
