Guys this is not intercooled, but its not the temps. Truck has run flawlessly in the heat all last year and this year so far..I have done nothing to it.. its not KR, I guess I'll have to take a better look at my gauge and make sure its not spiking..it really feels like a slipping belt though...looks like its time to sweat it out a bust out the wrenches to tighten it up abit.

Can you see any belt residue (black powder) by any of the pulleys? Also, try revving the motor in park and have someone see if the belt slips. We were in the 90's on the east coast in NJ so I'm sure CT was not much cooler.
