To those offering real advice, thank you. To those saying buy a different truck, no problem if you buy it for me, otherwise just some diagnostic help please. This is not a brand debate thread nor is it a gas vs diesel thread, it is a thread trying to figure out a specific problem. I know very little about diesels and don't want to be taken for a ride when they call me with a diagnosis. I don't think telling them to magically turn it into a ram or Chevy or v10 or ecoboost or anything else will work for the budget I'm gonna give them, nor will it fix my truck or humor the mechanic trying to help me.

What are you going to do, disagree with the tech if he comes up with something different then what was said on here?
These engines are very complex and it could be a lot of things. It would go a long way if you had any codes pulled.
From what you describe it sounds like you have a turbo problem (pretty common with these engines) or you could get lucky and it be a leak in the turbo boots. An underboost code would pretty much confirm a turbo problem or turbo system problem of some kind.
It could also be an EGR or a HPFP problem. Like I said, these engines are VERY complex. Some techs have a hard time to diagnose problems even when the truck is in their shop.
Anyway, good luck and let us know what they find. :)
