I saw a short video on Youtube where the guy swapped out his stock chain ring 42T for a 104mm 46T. He said this solved the resistance problem when in high gear PAS 5. Does this sound right?

Bob, which model & year bike did you do this with, and did you have to get a longer chain or add links? Did you also do (or even consider) switching to the4 11-32t DNP freewheel others here have used, also?
I added the 11-32 DNP freewheel and no change to chainring and it added plenty of resistance in high gear. You will need a special split freewheel tool. Rad sent me one free. Call them. You will also need to slightly adjust the inner and outer rear derailleur limit screws.
