    Ok so cascadia Detroit diesel
    Driving down road
    Check engine light comes on
    Yellow warning light comes on
    Truck starts shaking when accelerater is pushed
    Won't go over 55 mph on flat ground
    Just my rpm and speedometer gages do this weird floating thing where needle just goes all over the place
    Oil press good
    Everything else solid except for my 2 gages and loss of power
    Truck is not governed
    Feels like those 6.o ford diesels when injectors go out
    But I can still idle truck although it is rough


    Sitting here now waiting at a repair shop till morning any ideas¥

    Shudder when it is mashed upon sounds like injectors or injector harness.

    That's just a wild hairy (had the same thing happen in a 2012 at 440k ) . . . guess.

    And I'm hoping you don't own this truck, or you have a good sized maintenance account.

    Ours was a company truck, after 2 sets of injectors and 3 harnesses, we bid it farewell in Phoenix.

    I checked on it a few months later to find it had been a shop princess ever after.

    Had the same thing happen in my old truck, 2011 Volvo D13. Same shudder, same floaty needle thingy.

    It was just one injector though, so the engine wasn't totally gutless.

    look for a shop rag in the fuel tank,it will stay on the bottom when truck is off, it will get sucked up on the fuel line when running,blocking fuel causing mayhem.i was a wrench before i was a driver,and some people will bleed you dry with this trick.(KISS) keep it simple stupid .truck was ok b4 look for the simple repair.thats my motto.

    If the injectors went bad it's the fault of their parents.
