turbo trouble

Turbo winds up for a split second, then it stops. Runs good in 1 2 3 then no power. Also I forgot to plug it in last night and when it fired up, fuel started leaking from the fuel filter area?

As far as the fuel leak, sounds like the fuel bowl drain o-rings. Common when temps drop. Mine started leaking 2 years ago when it got cold. Just google it, it's easy and cheap to fix.

As far as the turbo- you got me. No idea... I think we might need more info.

i'd think, once ur up in the turbo, the need for fuel is increased, and the demand is just notthere. My guess is fuel delivery a problem...

It could very well be a fuel prob i'll look into that. One other thing that happened 2or3 times, the truck decided to kick out of cruise mode when I climbed even a small incline. Basically when the turbo should have kicked in.
