I've got an 05 6 speed cummins that is losing power.  Up a 55mph hill that I usually blaze up, I was doing 23 mph this morning. I noticed it more this AM with a 3k lb trailer. (I got flipped off by a little, gray haired lady...)  After about 30 miles I fueled up the half full tank.  I got back on the highway and the engine light come on.  Code p0251.  It seems as though the lack of power issue got better, but not the way it should be.  The truck is bone stock.  I have an edge juice with attitude that should be back this week from Edge.  Should I throw it on to at least see what the boost and egt's are running?  Or should I start saving for a new pump?  And if I should, where can I get the best deal on one?
Thanks,
Kor

I got this from another diesel site that I use

P0251 - CP3 Pump Regulator Control; Injector Pump Fuel Valve Feedback: The ECM detects a discrepancy between PWM supplied to FCA and PWM returned from FCA.

Possible causes:
- Intermittent condition
- Fuel Control Actuator
- Return wire open from FCA to ECM
- Supply wire open from FCA to ECM
- Supply circuit shorted to voltage
- ECM
Also check the 15/16 nuts on your injector tubes, sometimes there loose and will throw that code.

mite be the fca  fuel control actuator. not allowing the rail to build enough pressure to operate injectors  
I burn more diesel and run more miles in a week the most of you people do in a month. ctds that have been used 97 3500, 98.5 3500, 98.5 3500,01 3500, 03 3500. those that are being used 06 3500, 07 3500. and yea these trucks earn their living
