Barely bought this 09 Cascadia with Detroit 60 series with dpf for Cali.. Pulled a load today and all of a sudden two of the engine lights popped up and started losing power!! Couldn't go pass 40 and engine sounded crap.. Pulled over waited about thirty minute for my rescue so I can bobtail back... After the wait, no engine light and drove fine not pulling load...

Not to be negitive but you should of done your homework before buying that truck.
Those are without a dought the absolute worst year series 60 known to man.
You should trade it in because this will be your life for as long as you own it.
Staring a check engine lights and derates. The ecm on those engines are on a hair trigger and will constantly give you problems.
As for your issue, who knows.
You may think im not much help but i just gave you the best bit of advise youll ever get. Trade it in. -
Swaan is 100% correct. You just found the reason the last guy sold it...or lost it. You won't do any better. Get rid of it before you become the next "I've already spent $24000 on it this year" story.

Did you pull the codes after it de-rated? That's step 1. Without that info it could be anything from low oil to loose wires.
