So you back pressure tested the exhaust and that checked out? Also so while your driving above 3500 the engine cuts out or the transmission is slipping?

No a back pressure test is done with a back pressure gauge in the exhaust pipe.

Hi,

Have you checked diagnostic trouble codes? I ask because this could be related to a plugged converter or a timing differentiation between the camshaft and the crankshaft.

Also, I have a favor to ask. I need you to start a new thread because of the different model year. We try to keep them the same, so they are more helpful to others. I hope you understand.

Here is the link to start a new post:

let me know.
