My truck started shaking and is has no power when starting from a stop. When I first press the gas it shakes and hardly wants to go. Eventually arond 40 or 50km\h it seems to be fine. It also seems to lose power going up hills on the highway.
Any ideas?

Any check engine light? Any codes in the computer.

IF not hook up a fuel pressure gauge and see if the fuel pressure is dropping off while the symptoms are present.

Ok then that is where you need to start. Post back with the codes when you get them and we will see at that point.

The scanner pulled 10 codes. Do you find that a little odd? Everything from shift solenoids to o2 sensors.
P1409, p0155, p0141, p0135, p1451, p0760, p0755, p0750, p0753, p1747.
I think there has to be one thing causing all this, maybe electrical.

I would only find it odd if the light came on and all these codes were present. I don't if the light has been on and codes never checked over a period of time.

PErhaps there is a malfunction causing them all, but I doubt it. I'm more inclined to think there are multiple problems.

Three codes are probably related to a bad O2 sensor. Granted it may be a wiring or connector issure, but more likely a bad O2.

Four other codes are probably from the same issue in the transmission.

One code that is related to the evap system and another for the egr.

I suspect 4 different issues.

There are different ways to attack this.
I would record and clear the codes and go after them as they reappear.
