Any oil consumption... if so, treat as stuck rings and use a chemical agent, then start using Mobil One 10W30. Any oil deposits on the plugs... ditto. If you get the rings unstuck compression will improve.
There are situations where the exhaust can be restrictive from scale or shifted baffles. Is this the stock exhaust?
Do a highway run in a suitable location and after not using the brakes for some time, coast to a stop, and uphill section helps. Stop and set the P-brake etc. Now feel the brake rotors, checking for heat. Alloy wheels help as you can readh thorough them. You should be able to sense heat from a dragging brake. The rear inboard pads are know to get rust bound in the caliper slot. This is easy to clean up. Put brake lube on the backing plate edges and slot surfaces. The parking brake shoes can also drag.
