Need a little help here...

I have a 2004 F250 Powerstroke turbo deisel. I have two questions, 1). My son bought me a Black Widow remote starter/alarm system (the one-way version) and I was wondering if there was anywhere I could find some more specific installation instructions (the instructions in the box simply label the wires, but I have access to a Haynes manual wiring diagram). 2). I've recently been noticing that my truck seems muffled when not accelerating, also it has started ( in the past couple of days) sputtering when I accelerate from a dead stop. I don't know if either of these has been covered in another thread, this is my first post here, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to FTE!

You will probably get faster answers if you post this question in the 6.0 engine forum

Last oil change was about a week ago fuel filters were changed about 7.000 miles ago. I re-primed the fuel system yesterday. Still, having the spettering problem.

I'm at a loss. Did you post up in the 6.0L forum. Post with a title asking for help from CanadaGuy or vloney. They're both 6.0L Ford Certified Techs.
