No power
I've got a 2003 250 with 6.0L. Filled up at a local Speedway and developed a no power situation when trying to accelerate. Truck eventually died on me on the way to pick up fuel additive thinking it was a bad fuel thing. Replaced alternator as it wasn't putting out full charge and thinking I didn't have enough voltage to my injector pump. Didn't make a difference as it died second time and had to be towed. No gelling in the system and changed all filters. Possible EGR thing or should I drain tank, flush system and start over? It all seems too coincidental with the fill-up

Usually bad fuel means water. You indicate that you changed filters. Any sign of water when doing the fuel filters?
I would put an OBD testor on first just to see if it's prompted codes.
You might also check fuel psi too.
That "Speedway" station you refer to is a truck stop?

Not sure if you've figured it out yet but have you scanned for data?
Maybe the turbo not spooling due to a bad MAP hose, EBP line plugged, or the like.
I agree it's seems coincidental to your fill up but would love to hear what happened?
