I went on a couple of diesel truck forums to see what I could find out about other peoples experience with this problem, but I don't find it. The problem is that while towing a big trailer loaded to the 2006 truck's max, on a fairly long fairly steep up hill the truck will suddenly drop way off in power as if there is no more turbo boost or a severe restriction to fuel injection. At the top of the hill after cooling down I can shut it off, restart, and I get full power again. No check engine light, but instead the wrench light. I don't push the truck hard. I try to get a little run into the hills and I slowly slack off as opposed to keeping it floored and maintaining 65 all the way up. 65,000 miles, this started five months out of warrantee.
