I did the research, I knew the risks. I took every precaution I could within reason.

Did Trans/Diff/Engine oil when we got to our new house.

I'm sure you did. You sound reasonable. Have the fluid changes improved the situation?

Bump, anyone else have any input?

Thanks for everyone that did! I'll update with the solution when I find it.

Did you add friction modifier to the differential oil?

I did not specifically, but grabbed a brand with the right codes. I can post what I put in there in a bit and update tonight. It did seem a bit confusing at the time.

I had a similar problem loss of power up hills or pulling into traffic:

Mine turned out to be the Catalytic Converters. Anybody with a 2003 or new Expy should run a bottle of Cataclean at 150K and ever 50 to 75K after that. Keeping the Cats clean and free flowing is a whole lot cheaper then replacing all four on a 2003 Expy!
