Now that I've got over laughing....
LT's are know for being slow uphill. Just a search in this forum: "slow uphill". You'll find lots I imagine. One thing to check is the fuel filters or just replace 'em. Be careful with air bubbles although they are meant to be self bleeding. Other issues can be dirt getting in the fuel lines, timing or fuel pump issues like leaky seals causing air to get in, fuel lines can be leaking and cracked too + various other problems could be causing it. Add some more details on the engine type in your signature as it'll help people to help you. If your gouvener is giving you a pain in the butt then I'd say get rid...

Don't know much about diesel's mate but there are some bosch pdf's in the tech manuals topic.
Might be worth a browse. Do know it can be dangerous tinkering with a governor, always remember scrappy races when they all ran away while the engine self destructed. Had a very bad experience myself years ago when after an engine re-build the mechanic turned the governor down so it couldn't over rev. Couldn't stop the engine running even with ignition off, not funny at 100mph+ on the motorway. |

Nice old vid on govenors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXogtrK4g5s
You've not told us what engine it has. I assume deisel. Assuming also it's an aftermarket govenor so makes sense to remove or bypass without issues but you may need to check pump timing. |
