Green Wrench Reduced Engine Power
So yesterday I was stuck behind someone on the highway doing 55 in a 75. I got a clear spot to pass and went for it. I got up to about 75-80 and then realized I wasn't going any faster. I looked in the mirror to see if I could get back over and saw that I was dumping a really thick cloud of white smoke. I looked at all the gauges including the turbo which was at about 20-ish and everything looked normal. I let off the fuel and it felt like it was sticking maybe a little and then started to slow down. Then the green wrench popped up and the message on the dash says reduced engine power. I made it about 3 miles before I found a spot to pull in and stop.
I'm driving an 08 F-250 FX4 6.0L and everything is stock on it. I haven't blown anymore smoke at all. I checked all the fluids and everything looks normal. No oil in the coolant, no water in the oil.
Any suggestions before I take it to Ford to pay the $100 diagnostic charge?
