OK I've owned this vehicle for about 8 months now and there has been a significant decrease in pick up and go.... im not very mechanically intelligent and i have no clue why out of no where it just lost all of its guts. I dont know where to even start so any suggestions would be great.... Thanks!!!

I had similar problems and found that the 2.9 wasn't designed to run on ethanol additives which gums up the injectors and is now in all gas pumps. I tried several additives and have settled on Chem B-12. It will take about two fill ups with B-12 added for it to clean the system. I now add a can of B-12 about every third fill up and have had no more problems.
