truck started falling on it's face
In the last couple of days my truck has started falling on it's face (maybe like it's defueling) when I want to scoot around someone. It doesn't do it unless I kind of romp on it. Could I have gotten some bad diesel and have a clogged filter that has slowed down the fuel flow? Or is this a sign that something else may be amiss? Thanks

That's what I'm going to do on Monday when my parts store opens where I get my filters. I had ran a can of cleaner through it one tank ago and have just made a trip up to fort smith where I was able to run the truck at 75 mph for an extended time. It threw a code about 10 minutes from home while going down the highway but the code seemed to clear itself. Also I forgot to mention that the truck has never done any towing except for my bassboat.

It cleared itself before I could check. I just felt the truck kind of hiccup and the check engine light lit up. It was near the end of a 250 mile trip and I had been able to run the truck in the 65 to 75 mph range. It hadn't been run that far and long and at that speed in a long time. I got fuel only once during the whole trip and it's possible the fuel could have been dirty but it came from a truckstop.

I agree change the fuel filter. My truck just dropped on me and won't go over 1,000 rpms some people are saying it could be my injector pump I hope not. hopeing for a filter or pump in tank.
