What could cause this?
I had a experience with a dead pedal. The day before I got a cleaning exhaust and of course I just pulled into the driveway. I shut it off started it the next morning and no notice of exhaust cleaning. I was low on fuel so I stopped and filled, started the truck and in about 50 feet as I turned onto the main road DEAD petal, glanced down and the exhaust cleaning flash on the dash. It felt as if I had shut down the truck, 2 or 3 seconds and it started to take off still struggling, after about a block it ran smooth again. What could have done this? It makes so sense to me that a regen could make this happen. Any thoughts on what could do this? Hope I don't have a bad HPFP

I don't brake with my left foot and it would be impossible for fuel to travel from the tank to the engine that fast. I have driven over 800 miles in the past couple of days pulling 14K and not a single hickup. It it was the fuel it sure should have repeated. All that fuel was used and then some.

I believe it had something to do with regen. It started a regen and I shut it off and it had the dead pedal as it restarted regen the next day. I just can't understrand what in the regen could cause it to lose power

Here is my post about it. It hasn't done it since then.

I just noticed after I read my old thread again that it was suggested that it may have been the Motorcraft antigel. I used the cetane boost all this winter, no antigel, and I haven't had a single problem.

I have never used an anti gell as I was in southern California. I did't have centane boost in either because California is suppose to have better fuel than we do in Washington state. I think I will take it to my dealer and see if it set a code, my guess is it didn't. I hope I never experience that again because when it lost power all I could think of was here we go with the HPFP and I'm 1200 miles from my dealer. Maybe I need to not read about bad fuel for awhile.

The problem is drive by wire, and all the crap in modern vehicles. I belive stuff like this is going to happen. Its like driving a computter and they can do any wierd thing a computer can do. The creature comforts are better today but quality and and reliability was better in 1970.

In my mind it sounds as if just before a regen starts there is some kind of switch, so maybe it's like the kind of feeling if we had two ignition systems and you could switch from A to B on the fly,mwhich would produce a little hiccup.
Maybe going into regen really is an electronic version of the above.
