Almost no power

[WarChild]

So the last few days my truck has been getting worse and worse. It will come from a dead stop like a bat out of h3ll but after that I can hold the peddle down to the floor and it won't hardly do anything more. No codes no smoke and I just changed all my filters in late June. I suspect fuel pressure but I currently have no way to monitor it. Help a brotha out! I know I'm not the only on who has had this problem I just can't find the answers.

My early '04 had those symptoms about a month before "no start when hot" showed up. Ended up being a HPOP getting weak from a small leak, until the leak got big enough for the "no start when hot".

Wouldn't that throw a code because the injectors wouldn't be firing? I hope that's not it.

Is there a way to check fuel pressure without a gauge. My brother inlaw is a mechanic but doesn't know much about diesels he does have all the scanners and tools though.

Mine did the samething whenmy HPOP was going bad

Ok so we got HPOP as one. How much is it for a new one? How do you verify that's what it is? Might as well get the turbo cleaned if it's coming out.

I think I paid $580 at the local dealer.Had the old one in hand so I didn't have to pay the core fee.I think Tousleys quoted me $518+core & whatever shipping would have been
I figure a hpop inmy hand that day for a lil more $$$ was better than waiting a week to get it shipped.
Replacment isn't the worst thing I've done.I did it all in 4 days working several hours each day between running my business and my part time job.

How did you know it was the hpop?

Hook it up too a scanner and see what the hpop is putting out. Veins in the turbo may be sticking also.

Thats a good idea going to by brother inlaws shop today to do that. What should it be running at? Also what should my fuel pressure be at WOT about 70? I have the Blue spring update. Anything else I should look at while Im in t
here and what should it be at?
