Unhappy 7.3 Power Loss / Need Help!

I have a 2001 f-250 with TS Performace 50,75,100,150 chip, MBRP turbo back 4in. exhaust, AFE Intake and Wicked Wheel. For the last few weeks i have noticed that while driving down the road with no load and at a steady speed if I come up on a hill it won't even pull the hill I have to put the pedal all the way to the floor to get it to go and some times even have to hit the O/D button to get it to down shift and go. Also LOTS of SMOKE. THe next time I get in the truck it runs fine. The last week it has had a funny sound. Kinda like a whin and the exhaust sounds like im draining an air compressor tank through it under load. Also if the truck sit for more that 6 hours when I start it it will run about 5 seconds then flutter and die the starts right back up. I know this is a lot of problems but im hoping its just 1 or 2 things causeing all of this ANY help is greatly appriceated.


Thanks for any help. Albert

Sorry you fell through without a response. How long have you had the chip? What color smoke? I would pull the chip and run stock just to see if that is the problem. Could be a dirty connection. Let us know.
