Driving cross country to WA for a job. First time taking the 06 lj more than 200 or so miles in a day. Was doing fine, getting 15mpg and staying around 2500 rpm @ 75 mph all the way from KY to Kansas, but once i hit around 600 mi into the trip it started to feel like i was driving with a parachute on, like i had no power. I stopped for the night after around 900 mi thinking maybe i just needed to let it rest, but im havimg the same issue this am. Consistently having to hit 4k rpm just to keep it at 70 mph and gettin 10 mpg on flat kansas interstate. My hope is that maybe its just the wind coming across the plains kicking my ass, but ive driven a 97 XJ acoss this state multiple times and never had such crazy power issues.
I'm not throwing any codes. I've got 33" tires and recently regeard to 5.13. I maybe have some driveline vibe but nothing seems to be heating up. I figure if it was an engine issue i would have a code to check on and i've tried to rule out any losses from friction i guess?
or is this just life with a long haul lj?
