Fuel cut off solenoid has bits of the pump in it. It doesn't open all the way all the time so you get this good car bad car thing. Take it out and clean it. If that works then you will be OK for a few hundred miles then it will go again and again and again. If it is this then you will need to replace the injector pump eventually.

Where abouts is the furl cut off solenoid.... ? symptoms sound like my landy:(
 
I had quite the same sounding problem on my works van (merc sprinter 313 cdi), where one minute there would be power and the next it ran like c***, the only way to cure it temperately was to turn it off and start it back up. In the end it turned out to be the turbo that was at fault, wether this was mucking up the ECU and sending it into "limp home mode" or the thing was just breaking up i don't know as i never find out. Though you don't say how old the truck is or the what engines in it, more than likely it's some thing simple like some thing blocking the fuel pick up in the tank or a tank full of s*** diesel.:confused:

hope you get to the bottem of this.:D
 
Gofish, if its a 300 or before its at the back of the pump its got an electrical lead going to it.
