Default 95 1500 power loss

I own a 95 1500 with about 105,000 miles. It idles fine, it revs fine. But when I power brake it its like its running on half a cylinder. For the past month I have noticed a slight decline in power. And now I have this problem. Any suggestions I need it fixed before the snow comes in.

Do a search on here for plenum. And stop "power braking" , or your next question/thread will be about tranny issues!

+1 on what zman said, we were gifted enough as ram owners to have junk trannies from the factory, they dont need any more help breaking.

im assuming your not throwing any engine codes?

Im not power brakeing it to burn the tires off. I was just throwing out an example. Trust me I know how junky the trannies are, Dodge replaced one for me while it was under warranty.
