Subject: Gaining back power
IP: Logged

Message:
I have a 99' Dakota 3.9 5spd. with 93000 miles. i have JBA headers, mopar performace comp. and a throttle body spacer. When i bought the truck it had 30000 miles and everything already on it. It was quick back then but it seems to be losing power. What can I do to regain the lost power? And is it still possible to supercharge it with that many miles on the engine?

Have you changed the O2 sensor? Your cat might be stopped up. plus a lot of other things that may need attention.

A tune up never hurt. You could also try changeing out the fuel filter, with 90k miles on it it may be getting clogged. If not heck, throw a 3.91 gear in it. That should make up for some lost power.

like xmr said, check the o2 sensor. a bad one will make it run like crap. sudden drop in mileage is also a good indicator of a bad o2 sensor. check the belly pan gasket also and add a ported v6tb or stock v8 tb.
