I don't really believe in coincidences so I think I know the cause, but thought it wouldn't hurt posting here just in case.
Back story: I self installed a leveling kit and shocks this past weekend on my 2009 Ford SD.
I decide today, since I put a leveling kit on, to go and get an alignment done. And since I'm already there and it was near time for an oil change I had them change the oil along with the fuel filters. Truck was running great this morning, and probably didn't even need the alignment.
I leave the service place and head back to work and immediately notice that I lose power when I really get into the accelerator. I can idle, and roll into the accelerator just fine. It's only on a hard acceleration that I experience the power loss. It doesn't die, but it kind of sputters and just wont accelerate, almost like it has hit a rev limiter. Seems to happen around 2500 rpm, and happens whether I'm accelerating from a stop or if I'm going 60 mph and put the pedal to the metal. Once it starts sputtering it won't stop until I let my foot off of the accelerator, you can't power through it. After I let my foot off the accelerator it kicks back in and I can resume accelerating.
Logic tells me something happened when they changed the fuel filters but I can't figure out what they could have possibly done? If they got air in the system wouldn't it die and/or be hard to start? I checked the filter part number that was on the invoice and it looks like the correct part number. Can they be put in backwards?
