"Reduced Engine Power"

I have seen this pop up on the truck I think 3 times now over the first 4000 miles on the truck.

Usually it's when I'm on the highway around 70mph or so.

It comes on for a few seconds, then goes away.

I do have an exhaust / tune on the car.

Have you had your dealership check this out, beefcake? Feel free to reach out to me via PM; I'll be happy to loop in your regional customer service manager. Be sure to include your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership in your message. I'll get to work.

what codes are present?

You would have to return to stock to be properly diagnosed by the Dealer tech.

I have had the reduced power light a few times but it sets a CEL Ford says its a low fuel pressure. It always still runs good and the CEL light will be off if the truck sits over night. My truck has no tuning or delete and 21K on it. It only seems to come on if the truck is cold and I start it and try to drive right away.
