We were coming home from Hatteras late yesterday when the dually started loosing power and message on the dash came on saying engine power reduced and We were loosing speed,all gauges fine ,turbo boost still uprun several miles trrying to find a place big enough to pull into when someone came up and slowed down and said your rear tire on your last axle was blownWe didnt even feel or see it.pulled over and sure enough blew the inside wall out and didnt even cause no other damage,ran over a damn screw driver of all things ,

Sorry about your bad luck with the tire - glad there wasn't any subsequent damage. What was the cause of the truck losing power?

Crash,

Now I'm confused about what the garage did when they rebuilt your turbos a few weeks ago. It almost sounds like they installed a new "monitoring system" of some kind..... I know Ford trucks are "built tough" but I've never heard about Ford trucks being "smart" enough to reduce engine power because of a trailer tire failure LOL

Any idea what happened to reduce power?

Hopefully, no damage on the trailer and after changing the tire, you had an uneventful remainder of your trip.

Still a mystery on the power but once I changed the tire everything was back to nornmalMaybe the truck can tell the little differance in the load resistance to know something was wrong.I have never heard of that but everything is possible,Never have seen that kinda light and message befor a wrench came up along with the message , I guess.With 6 tires when one goes maybe it can tell I am still looking into that one?Yes after the tire was changed the rest of the trip went well and we made it home safe.Thanks
