I talked with the Tech.
It sounds like they dealt with the problem code that threw the first Check Engine light code.
The truck was kept overnight as there only a couple of diesel techs at the dealership and they were booked pretty solid on Monday. The tech went to start the truck in the morning to bring it into the shop and he said that it was burping and farting and there was a very strong smell of diesel fuel.
This is when he asked me about the loss of power. I told him that this was on the original work order.
I guess right now Ford has him taking things apart. He said that they had him take off the intake manifold to check on something else.
I'm not a mechanic but that sounds bad to me. I won't be getting the truck back until next week.
