i thought 5 mpg was good for a working truck i am currently averaging 60 litres per 100 km just to confuse you hauling 64.5 tonne. anyway getting back to your question of lack of power its a process of elimination start at the bottom and work your way up although they should have a usb plug in that should be able to trouble shoot any problem on the computer analysis check the fuel filters bad fuel will clog up the fuel lines and the injectors causing power loss also very important check your air cleaner a clogged air cleaner filter can significantly reduce you power.
No power. Poor fuel economy.

Sell it and then do what? My identity was stolen. Credit was trashed. Truck is all I have

Could you have gotten a bad tanks of fuel? Sometimes the tanks at old stations start getting a mold in them that is not good.

2 weeks worth?

Amram Thanks this.

Got it in a reefer engine once, trashed it

But there are two major enemies that kill injectors: water in fuel or air in the system. Considering, the fuel filter had the required micron rating.
Why would the dealer want you to change the fuel filter base? Just to sell you another costly part? Did they diagnose/verify the fuel pressure?
Do you have a Davco fuel filter installed? If so, check the plasic(glass) bowl for cracks, the cap and O-rings. A normal level of fuel is just above the collar.
I'm sorry to hear about your ID theft. But sometimes it's necessary to make a step backwards and start over again. -
I took my old basic davco off and had a heated davco installed in its place back in January. And before I take a step back I will go find a different job other than trucking. Im not being a company driver again.
KB3MMX Thanks this. -
I mostly fuel only at TA/Petro. I ran power service yesterday seeing if that will clean my lines. I have been getting black crap on my davco filter alot.
