Any ideas

Since I heard some ideas but haven't gotten this solved I will ask again.

Truck now has no problem keeping a charge and starts and cranks but sometimes takes a couple of 10 second cranks to get her going even when the truck is plugged in.

Truck runs rough. I don't know if it is missing or what. Hard for me to tell. What does this sound like?

Not a much power and feels like the turbo is gone! The truck will drop a gear to get me up to speed. Seems like it runs better when it is hot.

Any ideas?
ICP?
I have a small fuel leak that I am trying to fix, maybe this? I have plenty of fuel pressure like normal.
Bad wiring under V/cs? Connectors to VCs?

Please help.

Fletch

I will look at it again.
Is the Aeroforce a good substitute instead of taking the truck to the dealer and paying $200+ for diagnostic tests? That is what they will charge me for reading the code that comes on from time to time and goes off when I shut the truck off!

so I was driving and I lost power brakes, steering and truck started to get hot. I think alt seized up. Went to pull off belt and idler pulley came off.
What holds it on? What kind of nut, socket, or hex do I need?
