: 03 diesel, no power and no codes

Friend had to rush his kid to the hospital this weekend and basically held the thing to the floor for 10-15 minutes straight. It is straight piped and has a bully dog in it. Now the thing won't get out of it's own way. Did it go into a limp home mode from overreving it for so long and not throw a code? Any and all comments are welcomed.


Thanks,


Jay

Could be a plugged fuel filter.. When was the last time it was changed?

About 10000 miles ago.

Jay,
I would suggest your friend start with changing the filter and see if it makes a difference. It's about due anyway.

That's first on his list. Second is unplug the Bully Dog. He drove it today and sometimes when he gets into it, it's fine. Sometimes it's a dog.

Any other indications? I'm with jbplock, did he fill up at a different place than normal?

Got fuel from a different station, he was vacationing when it happened.

A few codes on the laptop, nothing serious enough for it to run poorly. Found out the boost sensor may be bad. Shows 13 pounds of boost at idle and WFO. To the dealer it goes after the bully dog comes out.
