How does the truck run generally, what the mileage and is there any smoke from the exhaust at all?

Are the brakes binding, and tyre pressures??
Full service and check of fuel lines and mini filter if fitted, especially for air ingress.
Check the boost sense line to the inj. pump.
Check the wastegate rod hasnt fallen off.

Then it would be a more in depth diagnostic, depending on your mechanical ability, boost pressure check, fuelling adjustment etc.

Welcome to the site. Sounds a bit like mine when the MAF was gone.
