    M1009 suddenly only crawls, eventually tops out at 35 MPH.

    I forgot to adjust the shift points via the VRV 🙄. So, I think I messed up something because I have rotated the VRV fully towards the rear of the vehicle and I cannot bring my 1st to 2nd gear to shift any sooner than 24MPH. 3rd never comes in until over 35mph. Not sure, but I feel like my...

    Thanks for the visual, cucvrus. I'm sure you are right on this, but like everyone else, I wanted to follow the path of least resistance before dropping the tank. I filled it up the morning the Blazer presented with this problem. I'm about out of remedies to try so it looks like its time to drain...

    This morning I checked the vacuum Pump- I got a median read of 20 Hg with the needle bouncing wildly between 16 and 22. The fuel pressure is pretty steady at 8Lbs. I removed the metering valve from the injector pump- more work than I needed to do in retrospect. It was a little funky- only a year...

    Changed the Fuel filter, and checked all fuel lines for leaks or damage. Nothing changed. Starts at a crawl eventually gets to 35-40. How can I rule out the transmission? Reinstalled the fuel pressure gauge after the filter- holds fairly steady at 8lbs.

    The filter is a couple of months old. I did fill the tank yesterday at $2/gallon. I wonder if the diesel was bad. Hmmm :unsure:

    Yes, about a year and a half ago. New injectors and glow plugs as well.

    On my way fishing- never happen when I'm on my way to get a root canal, and the pedal feels off as the engine starts bogging. I can keep the Blazer moving t get off the highway, but only just. Visual inspection turns up nothing. I limp back into town, find a diesel shop, but they can only guess...
