Re: problem diesel f-250 6.0
Some diesels have a feature to prevent engine overheating. When the engine begins to overheat, some of the cylinders stop firing, result in a cooling action to the engine rather than causing additional heat build up. When the condition improves, the cylinders again begin firing. The result is a loss of power when the cylinders turn to the cooling mode; the power returns when they fire again. This happens to me on hot days (I'm in Phoenix) when pulling my boat up a steep grade. However, I had no shaking, and the period where power is low was much longer than several seconds (e.g. until I reached to the top of the grade, plus a few seconds).
