Truck lost power need help!!!
I currently own a 2001 F-250 No mods 4x4 Crew Cab short bed so heres the thing, today on my way home I was at a stop light in idle and my check engine light came on then I lost all horse power upon take off. It idled very rough and would not go over 40mph. Shifted fine but, I noticed my turbo didnt kick on. So at Auto Zone I had them hook up the diagnostic machine and funny thing no codes came back it stated that it passed! So I changed the Fuel filtter and air fillter and still nothing changed.... Went ahead and drove it the rest of the way home at about 25mph with a distance of 30 miles until home. I really could use some advice as this is my only transportation and if I cant fix it my Wife will make me walk!
Thanks,
Will

Is it possible that auto Zone didnt have the right diagnostic machine for a diesl truck. While wating there I glanced at a book and it said that diesls do requrie certin diagnostic machines.. Just a thought!

Light never went off its still on and my truck still runs like crap!
Do you know of any places besides a dealer that would have the right code machine?
Im not sure I had the rpms high enough for the turbo to kick on. It idles as if its going to die.
Grrrr.. This sucks @#$!

Without the light I would say fuel may be the problem but that light throws me. Where do you live?
