Default No power?

My friend has a 01 f-250, the truck is totally stock nothing has been changed. The truck has got to where it has no power when you tow somethin or without a load. it takes the turbo forever to spool up more than normal turbo lag. idk much about 7.3s so any help would be great.

Few questions...

Does he have any gauges?

Any smoke when trying to accelerate?

Any idle issues?

You say no mods... intake mods? Maybe a drop in K and N filter?

No there is no mods on the truck at all. i guess the first place to start is the turbo and go from there?

idk much bout the 7.3s i mainly stick with the 6.0s.
