Towing Problem AGAIN!!!

We were getting ready to leave on a trip to the river and right whenb we were pulling out of the driveway the service enginge soon light came on. We left anyways but while going up the cajon pass it would only get to 65 mph with it floored.
the truck is a 2007 6.0psd cc long bed. We were towing 2 sea doos
We have already had the turbo and ficm replaced.

Any ideas on what could be wrong would be great.

You may have a fuel pump and fuel regulator that is getting weak. I had similar problems, but they would come and go. When initially tested, the fuel pressure was OK. They cleaned the turbo and road tested. The Power problem appeared during road test. Retesting the fuel pressure, they found it very low (19#s). New fuel pump brought it up to 42#s. New regulator brought it up to 49#s.

Good luck

Would your car insurance cover that or your home owners insurance?

truck was supposed to be ready today but ford called and said they replaced a sensor for the fuel pump, and cleaned the carbon out of the turbo, but they are still getting a code for the turbo. The turbo is only 4 months old. should they even have to be cleaning it out yet?
