Power Question
Hi all,
I have a 1987 pickup with the 22R motor and a 5-speed. It has an OME lift with BJ spacers in the front, 4.56 gears, 265/75-16 Treadwright Guard Dogs, stock Taco alloys, and a camper shell. My truck cannot hold even close to the speed limit up any kind of hill on the freeway. I'm down to about 45 or so climbing the grapevine on I-5. I have to use third gear every now and again just to hold 45-50. I've never been in any other old Toyotas so I have no idea if this is normal or not. Anyone care to enlighten me about this?
