I have an Isuzu FRR horse truck.
The other day when out it seemed to lose power going up the slightest incline, when I changed down a gear insted of getting a higher rev, it sounded really flat, and didn't respond, then on the way home on the flat road it didnt sound right, then coming up our steep hill thought we were going to have to get out and walk, just didnt have any guts to it at all.
Got home and got out and smelt a burning smell like I'd driven with hand brake on, which I didn't of course.
Hubby reckons becasue it get used intermittently the diesel is dirty, but hes not a mechanics backside!! anyhow forgot to tell him about the burny smell too. Have checked for stone etc under brake pedal and nothing there, so does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my beloved truck??

 

Sounds like a brake or two draging, Silly Filly, electric brakes on your trailer ? Hint Hint....

 

thank goodness that's all, whew, gave me a fright when I nearly went backwards down out hill.

 

This is a joke

 

pardon??? what is it you find so funny???? :?:

 

I'll take the 5th. Good luck with your problem.

 

Had an Isuzu water truck at a construction co. i worked for years ago. It had a similar problem. Turned out the intake hose for the turbo was getting sucked flat under load. replaced with a piece of pvc pipe and no more problem.

 

aaahhh yeah got the problem sorted it was the clutch damn it all a hefty $2600 later, now I have to pay for it.... still going much better now thank goodness.
