Weak engine?

Last night i had a few beers with my buddies, and when it was time to go, i had warmed up my truck. I dont know why, but for some strange reason i put my hand over my 3" ehaust and within four seconds my engine died. Wouldnt there be at least enough pressure to blow through my hand or something? It sounds stupid now, but I am kinda dissappointed, every time I leave for deployment, (typically six months) I come back and it seems as though my truck has lost even more power. She ran strong at 77k (351M) now at 123k she is starting to let me down. What are your guys' thoughts?

If the choke was engaged your engine could have been on the verge of dying anyway.

You can kill an engine by doing this if the exhaust is tight.

It does not indicate your engine is weak, you have a good, tightly sealed, exhaust system.

hmm...the exhaust is only a few weeks old, so it may be tight... great, now i feel a little better about it.
