Unhappy F350 Dually has no power and rides rough

I took it to the shop a month ago and they told me there was water and sludge in the tank. They filled it full of water evaporator and other additives, told me to fill up the tank and run all of the gas through. I did it and it still drives the same. Monterey Auto tells me that they think fuel injectors #1 and #6 are probably rusted, but two other people have told me that's very improbable. Any suggestions??????

tell us a little more about your truck, Kinda sounds like one of your UVCH's (Under Valve Cover Harnesses) have come loose.

Edit; Oh BTW Welcome to FTE

Hey Natasha-

I was thinking the same thing as Richard when we talked about it on the phone. Cruise up on Sun and we'll likely figure something out!

Question

There's not much more to tell, that's the only thing that's wrong with it. What did you want to know Richard?

It's a 1999, no mods.

I'd say the filters in the tank are clogged, I'd drop the tank & do the in-tank mod.

Richard- I think we're leaning towards clogged fuel injectors...

I would suggest you have someone read your fault codes.. It will give more info on what the problems are..
Welcome to the forum..

I pulled the codes yesterday. Nothing special popped up. The thing sounds pretty bad. I recommended they call Clay and get some ideas from him.

Good meeting you two also!
