Aright I'm a Dodge Guy down to the very end but my 89' 318 is really startin to piss me off i love off roadin but when climing hills and stuff, towards the end it doesn't wanna go much farther. I've done a full tune up fuel filter, 02 senser, plugs wires cap rotor. I'd like to find a Throttle body spacer for some more throttle response but i honestly have looked high and low and cannot find anything for that truck besides exhaust. Please any idea's, websites, or anything else you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

It sound like some lower gearing would help you out. What gears and tires do you current have?

I was thinking along the same lines, but more specifically....Are you saying that when off-roading, you just plain lose power while climbing???? If so, are you in 4 low? If you aren't, obviously you should be.
But, if you are in 4 low, and still run out of power, you've got some serious issues with your engine. I don't know what specifically, but something ain't right.
