6.0 power problem

I just replaced the egr cooler the oil cooler put a coolent filtration system, cleaned intake manifold cleaned egr valve fuel filters and oil. Had trouble getting it to initially start acted as if no fuel even though cycled the key 30 times. It finally started and ran fine the first 500 miles. Then i noticed the turbo would hic up when first starting to accelerate. But today i was driving it down the highway at about 70 and i lost all power .It showed i was getting boost but seemed like i was getting no fuel . It slowed down till it eventually died. When i hit the key it started right up but still had very poor power. Any ideas would be appeciated.

Need to post the truck information (year, miles, mods, etc).

I assume that you are using OEM style filters and the proper weight and rating of oil.

Check for codes if you can.

Check your batteries (load test) and alternator.

So many places it could be, you need a way to start narrowing it down:
(electrical system, high pressure oil system, fuel delivery system, etc).
