Troubleshooting power loss

Ok - so I’m not totally convinced that I don’t have a power loss and that the problem was totally a stretched/maladjusted cable.. Yes, around town driving is just fine. Feels normal. But mountain passes (that I’d previously done just fine on) are now a bit of a struggle. Getting passed by RVs, slowl...

The filter hadn't been changed in at least 18 months, the ...

Troubleshooting power loss

Got an interesting one here. 92 L300, diesel. Just replaced my turbo. Van runs, but is struggling power-wise on the low end. It can get up to and move at highway speeds, but it's struggling at the low end. Acceleration is slow, the transmission doesn't seem to want to downshift and the gas pedal jus...
