feels like heavy load

90 351 EFI

My trucks been getting worse in terms of it feels like im pulling a heavy load in low gear and low speeds. Lately Im starting to feel it at highway speeds to.

Im not pulling any codes everthing is fine. The engine is just revving too much without moving at low speeds. I had a transmission rebuilt about 3 months ago but even in neutral or park stepping on the gas its getting worse.

Ive checked everything in unrelated matters too. Air filter, PCV valve, plugs wires, EGR, ) o2 sensor.. most other sensores..

No blow back, no oil loss between changes, no collant loss. engine runs fine.


The engine just seems to have heavy load.

catalytic convertor clogged.? Thats all i can think of.

thanks

exhaust

IM sure its all the original exhaust. I had it for 4 years and im sure its original. Yeah. Its original. Its a one piece welded from the Y-PIPE through the first cat out the back to the second cat. after the second cat its been changed cause of new mufflers. Its been started to feel like heavier load slowly for about 7 months now but its getting bad. Ive patched some holes in the exhaust(small) but theres definitly no big leaks anywhere. I just dont want to change it and its not the problem. Most places I go to dont know anything. My favourite garage shut down a few months ago. I guess he was too good.
