Hello,
I just joined this forum. I have a 6.0 Diesel Ford Excursion with 169,000 and I love it in spite of all of the trash talk about the 6.0. I recently purchased a large travel trailer and took a long trip. We experienced major power loss on the road. I stopped at the Ford dealer and they replaced the EGR as it was corroded and reset the codes. The problem persisted and no new codes are being thrown. The problem seems to only occur when the temperature outside is above 80 deg. and go up hills. The RPM's jump way up and the speed drops. I can put the pedal all the way to the floor and the vehicle struggles to get up the hill. At one point the vehicle would not go over 40 on a small hill. I have had the vehicle looked at by many qualified mechanics and no one can seem to find an issue as no codes are shown
