While pulling my fifth wheel trailer 12500# at highway speed 65 mph pulling a grade the check engine light came on and the reduced engine power message appeared on the dash. This reduced and limited the speed to 50 mph and steps the truck down from there until you can only do 20 mph on the interstate. This issue has happened three times in three months.
