Is initial power low?
Yesterday I received, for work, a brand new 2017 F550 CC 4X4 with a General ultra low profile service bed. It's got the 6.7 with 4.30s, and so far, it seems a lot more sluggish than I would expect. I've only got 300 miles on it so far, and I'm going to wait, as the manual suggests, till I get 1000 miles on it to hook it up to one of our 22K lb trailers. Does the computer somehow derate the engine till it has some miles on it?
