Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SLOWER CAR, THE TRUCK LOST 50% OF ITS POWER. IT BEGAN TO MISS FIRE, AND ACT LIKE IT HAD BAD GAS OR SOMETHING. I ALSO STARTED TO NOTICE THAT IF YOU TURN A CORNER ON WET PAVEMENT AND YOU LOSE TRACTION, THE TRUCK MADE THE SAME GURGLING SOUND WITH POWER LOSS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT I GET VERY BAD GAS MILEAGE AVERAGING 12 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN AND THEY REPROGRAMMED IT. I THINK ALL THIS DID WAS CUT BACK THE POWER TO HELP PREVENT DETONATION OR MISS FIRES. AFTER THIS THE TRUCK WAS A COMPLETE DOG. BAD MILEAGE AND NO POWER. I RECENTLY SENT THE TRUCK BACK AND THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS WITH THE INTERCOOLER. IT ISN'T 100% FIXED BUT IT IS BETTER. MILEAGE PICKED UP TO 15 MPG BUT NOWHERE NEAR WHAT THEY CLAIM. POWER IS BETTER BUT STILL NOT GOOD. VERY DISAPPOINTED OVERALL. *TR
