UPDATE....Finally got the truck to the locally recommended Ford diesel tech. He hooked up his computer....no codes!!!!! Nothing! We even test drove it down the road with the computer hooked up....he was checking turbo boost. At WOT, it spooled up to 25 PSI....just as it's spec'ed to do. He couldn't find anything wrong...engine seems to run just fine. I continued to explain the issue I had towing where I noticed the lack of power the most...and we decided that I'm going to tow the camper to his shop Sat. morning and let him tow and see what he thinks. This morning I stopped for coffee on the way to work and talked with another guy that was there with an '05 F250...just like mine. He's got 76K on his...mine is at 106K. We took his for a test drive up the road and onto the highway....his truck felt much more responsive and lively. His throttle response was great....lot's of get up and go. Then I let him drive mine....he felt the same lack of power. The issue is definitely NOT just towing....it's all around responsiveness....and I feel like it's throttle responsiveness. I'm putting the pedal on the floor to get the same "push you into the seat" feeling at 1/2 throttle in his truck. Seems like it takes a lot longer for the truck to decide to gear down and start pulling too. Any ideas?
