    Loss of power shake and stutter. Idles fine so I called wrecker get it to cat all tests good inj cutout, solenoid. And fuel restriction. I keep hammering it and it seems fine just don’t want to put 80k on and be dead again.

    Dumb question but have you changed fuel filters?

    The motor. I’m not sure where exactly more to follow up in the next few days. Can’t tell if clunking or fuel knock. I have a mechanic that’s worked a Freightliner for 15 years on it. He’s confident.
