ricg,

Welcome to FTE lots of good people and info around here.

First thing that comes to mind is sticking EGR valve.
Did you have any other symptoms, ie smoke, noise, rough idle?
How many miles on the truck?

lol you should not have to stall up your truck to race a stock 7.3 anyday.

if you didnt notice any smoke, then i would say probably got the turbo stuck. if this keeps happening, then you need it clean ( if it can be ) or replaced.
