Description of the problem	On jan 25th, 27th and 29th a "malfunction indicator lamp - regulatory' light went on, and at the same time there was a warning of 'reduce power' the truck power results in an reduction of speed to 10-20 mph. This happens at speed, 60-70mph on the freeway, to 10-20 mph. Fortunately i was able to get off the road. I took the truck to the dealer, after a 'software' upgrade i was told the truck was ok. However on fed 11th at night on a highway with no shoulder the "malfunction indicator lamp - regulatory' light when on, and at the same time there was a warning of 'reduce power' the truck power results in an reduction of speed to 10-20 mph. The only way to get the truck going, is to shut it off and re-start the truck, the engine 'light' stays on, however the truck runs fine. Its now at the dealer, for the last 3 days. They think it has something to do with the turbo over boost. My main concerns is not the turbo, but the 'coding' that de-rates the engine, when at speed resulting in an immediate safety issue. While on all of my occasions i was able to get the truck restarted without another vehicle running into me. I am requesting assurances that the 'code' or programming that causes the reduced power to be removed. For me this is far more important that making a repair to the turbo, as it's directly to safety.
