I will definitely get the fuel filter changed, and the air filter was checked recently, but I will change that as well. The strange thing is that it runs perfect otherwise, just when it is under load on a long grade that it seems to lose power and start kind of "missing", and when I come over the grade, it smooths out just like normal and runs fine. I will get right on the simple things first and hope that does it. Ralph
