07 D7 Lacking "hero snow" hill climbing ability

ferg said:

So I was out the other day in the Sonora Pass area bout 9000ft and was out climbed by a stock 06 600. My sled sounds and feels good in the flats and small hill climbs but when I attempt to bag a peak e.g. long slow gradual climb getting progressively steeper, my sled just seems to bog down leaving me helpless and alone while everybody else is enjoying a view! I Was wondering if anybody had some ideas to check for or things that might cause this like belt wear or hyfax wear. I forgot to look at the rpms as I turned around but I'm normally gettting 7400. Any info is greatly appreciated :wave:

RPM's are way low, you should be up to 8200 to 8300. Have the clutches checked and new springs put in. Also clean the exhaust valves. Get the RPM's back and you will be amazed how well this sled will run! I have this same machine with a little clutch work it rips! :nod:
