: reduced power

I keep getting "reduced power" on my display every once in a while.
My 08 has about 30k on it with no mods yet.
From what ive been reading it might be snow in the airbox or the dpf.
I mainly use my truck for transporting my snowmobile back and forth to the mountains which is about 6 hrs each way. Sometimes I pull over and sleep leaving the truck to idle so it stays warm in the cab.
Everytime the "reduced power" came on I checked the airbox for snow and have only found snow once.

Any ideas?
