Haven’t had truck long but whilst driving up through the gears all is fine until you hit 40 mph then it just seems to slow up and feels like engine is labouring get to 45/46 and things start to pick up again, this is my first L200 after swapping from another well known 4x4 brand, any suggestions greatly received.

Check the Turbo boost pipe isn't blocked inside the Alloy tube where it meets the engine (you may need a small drill bit to poke inside)
Also check the rubber pipe for cracks & splits
