1999 Ford P/U 7.3 W/Turbo No Power
I have a 1999 Ford Super Duty pick up with a 7.3 with a turbo. It has started to lose power and has a slight vibration. It gets around 10 to 11 miles per gallon pulling a 35' living quarters horse trailer loaded. Can some one please help me and let me know way it is starting to lose power and how to tell if the turbo is working or not.

That is one hell of a load for the truck and 10-11 MPG isn't bad at all. You most certainly will feel a loss in power with it hooked.
My thoughts are centered around drive pressure leaks at the turbine inlet behind the turbocharger, easily spotted by looking for black soot around the pipe connection near the firewall.
Other than that, only being able to monitor actual boost and operating conditions may give you a clue.
