The dealers are def prone to make mistakes as well. Had a buddy that was having issue, was throwing codes when we went to Colorado and got in the hills. Jeep had no guts. Ran it by a dealer up there and guess what......the TX dealer that did the last oil change and changed the air filter failed to tighten the intake boot at the throttle body! LOL. No telling how much dust he sucked in to that engine as we'd been wheelin' several places in TX prior to hitting the Colorado trip! He had the whole "free" oil change thing goin' too. How you like that for a "free"?

No trouble on startup, and gets up to speed pretty good, just nothing left when running on the hwy in 6th gear.

Power update
So far I've cleaned the air filter, checked the oil filter is tight, added fuel injector cleaner, fluids and tire pressures. It does seem to have a little more juice and running smoother, doesn't seem to be working as hard on the hwy. We'll see if the improvements continue after this tank of gas, or if I just basically added octane boost to the tank. Thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated.
