Sometimes when im going up a hill always the same hill it is in a subdivision and the speeds are slow when I go up this hill at around 20mph to 30 mph somewhere in there my Rpms go to 1000 from 1900 or 2100 and it feels like I need to floor it to keep my speed. I know it is shifting gears but it seems like it takes forever to get any power back. I dont notice this anywhere else. idk if im thinking bout it to much but i cant figure it out. I have all the power i need on the interstate and the trans shifts fine all day but one this one hill kills it. The other thing that gets me is it is one of the smallest hill i drive on. PLEASE tell me if im an being dumb but it happens every time and I hate it.

That would be caused by your 245/75 tires and stock gearing.

I think the colts stuff is causing it :shock:


I also think the gear change caused by the taller tires is the culprit. I don't think it is an issue.
