So we just got a 2010 Cascadia with a Detroit 60 VI in it. My driver reports that when going up a hill under load the truck is sluggish, only getting up to 50/55 with not a heavy load. At first he thought it was the floor mat impeding the pedal travel. Then he discovered that if he has the cruise set at 65 it goes up hills no problem. As a test he had the pedal to the floor and got it to 50 where the truck seemed to top out. He pressed the resume but on the cruise and it took off up to 65 without a problem. On the flats the pedal seems to work fine.
The truck used to have a PTO kit on it before we got it.
Is this the throttle sensor or a programming change or what? Almost seems like torque limited on the pedal but not on the cruise?
Thanks in advance.
Cascadia Detroit has limited torque on pedal but plenty on cruise
