No power

Good morning, my name is Jason. I just joined up and need some expertise. I recently purchased a 2008 Ford F350 diesel dually (approx 7- weeks ago). I now am having some problems with it. My engine light is on and stays on. When I start my truck in the morning a drive away after leaving it run for awhile my turbo does not kick in like it should when I give it a little bit pedal. Some people have told me that it has something to do with my exhaust (cat converter). I took it a couple weeks back to the dealer where I purchased it and they reset my computer and it showed something to do with my exhaust. I pull a 28 foot travel trailer and am having problems getting the horsepower I need to pull it. Can someone please help and give some advise on what to do?

Thank you Jason

You are going to need to see the codes. You will have to get it read.

Someplace like autozone may give some codes the are emissions related but not ford codes.

I would have them scan it as this sounds like emissions. I am think EGR.
