Long story but here it goes.
I was 300 mi from home to visit family for several days. On day 3 my truck did not want to start but after several attempts I got her running and she seamed to be fine. The next morning it was about 32 deg F and I was taking a family member to the airport about 3 hrs away. The truck started just fine. The plan was to go from there and make the 7hr drive back to my home. As we started the trip to the airport I noticed my MPH was not normal. Normally I get about 17-18mph empty and that day I was getting 14mph. About 2 hrs into the trip we stopped for some coffee and when we got ready to continue, It took a little longer cranking time to get the truck running. Well, about 20 mi down the road the truck started losing power and then died. After checking the obvious, filters, fuel flow, loose wires, ect, I hooked up my autoenginuity to pull codes and could not establish a connection. Called my auto service and had the truck towed to a dealer in Weatherford TX. Of course it was Sunday and the dealer was not open. Well on Monday I called them and they told me that there trouble shooting pointed to a bad HPOP. My cranking HPOP pressure was only 300-400. They checked for leaks ect and confirmed it was the Hpop.

They put the truck in line for the repair and it was 10 working days later they got to it. I am schedualed to go get it on Wednsday and am hoping the truck is right. They replaced to HPOP and IPR.
