Is it standard or modified with larger diameter wheels? If so then it may be overgeared. Maybe able to better help if you gave a few more details.

What are you comparing it to? They are not rocket ships...

Wopass has done a few special mods to his to make it haul - might want to pm him.

From memory, playing with the diesel pump and a bigger diameter exhaust made a significant difference.

interesting

you said you are comparing it to your 94 lc80

that being the case i would be recomending to take it to a diesel turbo specailist and get a full engine and turbo analysis done as either the fuel system or turbo is under performing

just my thoughts

good luck

might be the injectors? chuck a bottle of injector cleaner in it and see if it makes any difference.

alltech diesel & turbo, Wairau road, just 100m off motorway. i think they charge a fair bit, but are supposed to be the best.
