Re: Does this Sound like Limp Mode

have you checked if the turbo is ok?

Remove the orange bend and see if the wheel spins - mine ate some of the air tube from the filter and died.

Have you got the codes from the ECM yet? If it is broken, I have a spare....sort of

you could have been overboosting, and now it's in safety mode, or your boost solenoid is not working normal, and now you are ob base boost.
go to www.sportmachines.com and learn how to read codes with a paperclip, or buy datamaster, which is a must anyway to own these POS cars

Does it have tach flutter? or is the engine misfiring?

sorry, i thought you had a check engine light, but of you has massive knock (detonation) cause of a bad ignition system/ bad feuling etc. your stock chip will cut back on boost and timing, do a full tune up a see if it works,

Check your timing. I went through everything before I checked my timing and it was way off and caused the truck to run extremely bad.
