Truck idles fine but when you accelerate it does not have any power. It reaches max speed of twenty five mph fully accelerated.

Hello, I am Danny.

Just a few questions first. Does the truck have the Check Engine Light on? Does the exhaust smell like rotten eggs? Could be your catalytic converter/exhaust is plugged. I have attached a tutorial for you to view. Hope this helps and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
