This power loss is right from low end to top end.
Any suggestions would be appreciated THANKS

No I haven't done the first service on it yet.
after the power loss occured,
what did you do?
did you idle home? have it towed home?
how did you recover from it?

The truck runs fine, no different from any other time I drive it. It just didn't have that good old cummins puuuuulllllll to it. It almost seemed like the throttle responce was next to nothing, put it to the floor and it seemed to lag, give it 3/4 throttle and it seemed better.

Hey Mag,

I have an 06 factory ordered, and it needed 2 different reflashes for both power and hard starts...I know this doesnt affect your 07 but all I am saying is that as much as we all hate the dealer, but they have always been good to me...

I agree there is a small likelihood that fuel filter would be the problem with such low kliks so far...But some good advice, dont get your filter from the dealer...they wanted 70bucks to do mine, and I get em at Action Auto or somewhere like that or about $19...very easy to change yourself...

Silly question..are you running UFA farm fuel or any farm fuel??? There have been some recent issues with UFA fuel being a tad dirty and some high water contents...also with the retarde weather we have been having here lately, perfect condidtions to build condensation in your farm tanks if the level is low...

To pull codes...turn your key on and off 3x...this should show your codes in the odometer area...write em down and post here and we can offer some more advice...If no codes it will show -done- in the odo...

I have done my own services in the past, I haven't done one on this truck yet.
Hey Longhorn I did the ignition thing 3x on and off and Nada. You don't suppose it's different for the 07??

I would still check out the fuel filter , you may have gotten some bad fuel. I hate to go to the dealer too.
