Maintenance before long road trip
I'm going on a 2000 mile road trip with most probably many hills along the way... I had some trouble going uphill with a packed 2006 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7 4wd unless I put it on 3rd gear... Now I feel my truck is lacking hp/torque when I press the throttle... It feels kind of sluggish as if power is escaping.
I've also never changed the front/rear differential oils, the transmission oil/filter, transfer case, PVC valve/clean the throttle, cabin filter...
What would you recommend changing before and after this road trip by order of priority?
Thank you.
