Feeling Sluggish

Hey guys,
Every now and then, maybe once a week. My truck seems like it has less "get up and go" then usual. It's not a huge difference, but It feels like I have to give it more gas to get up to speed. Unfortunately I am the only one that drives it regularly so everyone else thinks it's just me, and they say it has plenty of power.

Could someone point me in the right direction to look?
The truck is listed in my sig.

Is it really hot on the days it feels slow? If so that's normal.. lower air density and/or higher humidity will reduce engine power.

Now that you mention it, It felt slow pretty often last week, when it was 96 degrees and 88% humidity.
It's supposed to warm up again next week, I'll pay attention to that.

Thanks
