Help!

Hi, I have a 95 F250 7.3 turbo diesel and I changed the exhaust to 4 inch MBRP turbo back and ever since I did that the truck hasn't had any power at all and threw a turbo charger code and the truck will not go over 60MPH. I'm guessing its a fuel problem but it doesn't explain why after I did the exhaust it happened, please help.

Does the truck run and idle smoothly? It sounds to me like something happened to the EBPV system and it is keeping the valve closed all the time. Try unplugging the 2 wire connector right under the turbo intake. If that fixes it, just leave it unplugged and you'll be good to go for the next 200k, lol.

WHS

If all you did was replace the exhaust, then the EBPV is likely the issue. Take the downpipe off to see if it is bound closed.

The fuel filter light is on also, when I drive it flickers this is why I thought its a fuel problem because it doesn't go over 60 mph it acts like its struggling to get fuel

Have you drained the fuel bowl, and/or changed the fuel filter?

when I change the fuel filter and drain the fuel out, do I fill it back up?

You can, it will start faster. You don't have to, it will fill itself while cranking.

Check the fuel pressure then too. There is a fitting on the side of the fuel bowl that you can use a standard tire pressure gauge on to check the pressure. You're looking for about 65 PSI at idle. If you're way below that and the mechanical pump is failing that will definitely make it run poorly.

Does it act the same way on both tanks?

Check the small hose that goes from the pass side intake plenum up to the map sensor. You may have pulled it loose while working on the down pipe.
