I was going west out of denver with TT, weight combined 16,000 lbs. Get going up, doing OK with O/D locked out able to maintain 50mph.

2-3 miles and all of a sudden my rpm's are down to 14-1500, and no power. Foot flat on the floor, it would not down-shift. Turn around at next exit and went back down to the house.

No lights, egt 1225, all temps normal I guess.

Tranny? Engine??

Appointment with ATS on Wednesday.

Help

Thanks in advance.

Could be a leak in the intercooler boots or a bad map sensor.

Is your truck lifted at all? I lifted mine and it killed my hill pulling power. 4.10s on the way...

What was your boost level at? Sounds like you lost a boot or a boost leak somewhere, does the turbo seem to spool up ok?

Truck not lifted, turbo spools fine, runs decent on the flats.

It just acted like it shifted into O/D, really lugged it down.

One other thing I forgot, Edge Attitude display froze up, once I got turned around down the hill, it came back to life. ??

Just really seemed like tranny got hot and took a break. Agter it cooled off and back on the flats, acceleration and cruise seemed OK.

Thanks to all so far, will check for other issues.
