Mon. I ran the truck hard (unloaded) up and down some hills for about twenty minutes. No issues. Then when I was just about to give up trying to reproduce the issue, boom, at 13 lbs. of boost, up a hill, it occured. Irratic idle, no power, puffing sound under the hood.
Tues. I changed the fuel filters. Last change was 12K ago.
Wed. I took it to a local repair shop.
The only thing they could find was the brake relay, just above the brake pedal was arching and the contacts were burnt and bad. They replaced that and couldn't find any other codes. They did the engine drive test at a stop, where they cycle the key, turn the steering wheel, press the brake, the engine rpms would go irratic then settle down, that test.
They said other than just start tearing into the engine, they didn't know what else to do.
I am heading out tomarrow, problem or not.
If anyone has any other ideas I would appreciate them.
