    I have a 2002 F350 dually 4x4 with a Superchip in it. During the first 30 minutes after warm up when I get on it the truck hesitates sometimes but then will be fine. Also sometimes after braking I try to accelerate and nothing happens. The engine is still running and after pumping the gas a few times it starts running fine. I change the oil every 5000 miles and fuel filter also at 5000 miles. Any ideas?

    Check your ebp butterfly valve for sticking

    on the back of your turbo you have a warm-up module (EBP) it will be round with three bolts holding it to the turbo, on the bottom side there is an arm /rod connecting it to the turbo itsself disconnect the arm, move it out of the way slightly then grab a hold of the arm/shaft coming out of the warm=up casting and move it back and forth it should move freely if not it has carboned up and is sticking on, this will result in the lack of power.
