65+ problems

hey guys new 6.0 owner with a problem. I just had to have ficm and 2 injectors changed due to having loss of power on the highway. I would lose power at 55+. i would just be cruising and suddenly lose power and then go to press the go pedal and nothing would be there. Well now after ficm and 2 injectors truck runs fine but still has loss of power problems very sporadically. it seems to mainly occur at 65+. any ideas?

Gauges? And I don't mean the factory ones.
You need to know what the PCM is seeing
to really help find the problem.

With some thing like the Scanguage II or one of the smartphone
tools and software you should be able to pinpoint this.

Look at Vref to see if for some reason it's dropping out.
Also a do you have the blue spring update regulator done?
I would verify the fuel pressure under load to see if it's
dropping below 45PSI. Low pressure is hard on injectors.

Ya I had similar issue with vanes stuck on turbo. It would jerk also at highway speeds when towing sometimes.

Yep need some gauges.

Curious about fuel psi and also ICP at those speeds.
