UPDATE: Took the truck and camper this morning to the mechanic to test drive/tow. He definitely noticed the lack of power. We went back to the shop, hooked up the scanner/computer and went for another test drive out on the highway towing. Keeping a constant 63-65 mph...the oil temp was showing about 40 degrees hotter than the coolant. Truck is scheduled for the OR next Tuesday. Going to get a new oil cooler, egr cooler while he's in there, and he's going to open up the turbo and give it a good cleaning. As some have suggested when this happens, the PCM is starving the engine of fuel on purpose. Sounds all to familiar huh? Clearly this is an issue....I'm just hoping it really is what is causing the lack of power and that after the job is done that I'll feel the power in my truck that I've experienced in the other stock F250's I've driven to compare against.
