05 slt quad cab v6 and hills @ 65+mph
I just took a (5 1/2 hr) trip up north and i noticed having some issues on hills going over 65. somtimes it would stay at about 2.2k rpm, or when it would shift i would have it floored and it would max out at about 3300 RPM, Very steep hills i would lose speed, semi steep hills i could gain speed still, but very slowly.
This is my first truck so i dont know if this is common in a v6 truck (esp as heavy as the dakotas are)
Is this common? RPM's show up to 7k, why wont it go above 3.3k -3.4k rpm?
Any ideas?
Thanks !

i didnt notice any back fireing, but i also have had an issue now that i think of it where i step on gas (this SOMTIMES happens but not often) and it will barely accelerate, and ill floor it, then all of a sudden it will shoot up to almost 7km rpm and ill have to hurry adn release the gas peddle
if this sounds like a cat, do you have any idea about warrentys? The book that came with it doesnt mention any warrentys on emissions, i have almost 76k miles on, and as i said a 2005 dakota SLT v6
thanks for your help
