Funny, we ran the D2 from 2001 till 2008 on 265-75-16 without issue..

Are you auto or manual?

Auto. You live in south Oz Toombie and the only hill in your entire state is behind Adelaide! :D:wasntme:I live in the great dividing range so any loss of power is really noticeable on the roads around here. 235/85 just made it too sluggish. And yes, there is probably something wrong with it. I have been maintaining it myself for over 5 years now :)

I run 235 85 16 on my D2 with a remap and it pulls up the hills fine. I just knock it back to 3rd. Before the remap is a different story. :p

I have 235/85x16s on my D2.
Its way too overgeared,hill starts when towing the boat are difficult(manual)In low range on the beach with the tuned ECU,brilliant,tall long footprint,dosnt struggle at all.
I fitted the standard ECU the other day chasing a poor starting issue.Its a dead slug on the highway when you are used to just lighting the afterburner to get around road trains!!!!,It was very pleasant when I drove it in the city last week with the standard ECU,much better drivability.
Now the starting issue is sorted I will be replacing the re-mapped ECU to see if that was the starting problem.
