Takes like 40-50 hp to turn the engine fan. Is that your issue or is it a derate condition?

Sounds like its parasitic drag from the fan running by the way you describe the issue.

WAIT. POWER as horse power, or power as in voltage?

i check the master battery fuses, and disconected the speed sensor from the transmission and idk wtf now.. im thinking its a low voltage issue but thought id ask
