I have noticed latley that when going up the canyon highways my truck sputters; loses power...almost like it is stalling out, then catches again. I just recently had to get the FICM replaced when I randomly could no longer start my truck. I also changed my fuel filters. I had hoped that having that done would help or solve the problem. Not the case. Any suggestions of what might be happening? Thanks,

Mine is doing the same thing I was wondering if it was the turbo?

I hope it's not an issue with the turbo($)...however at this point I just want to figure out what it is and get it resolved! I spoke to a buddy of mine who is quite knowledgeable with Fords...he suggested just using some fuel system clean-out (pour in fuel and let it run through system...supposedly cleaning out things). I tried this a couple weeks ago and nothing changed.
