WHEN 2016 F-350 SD PULLING 18000 LB CAMPER ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY RUNNING 65-70 MPH GOES INTO EXHAUST CLEANING MODE, THE VEHICLE SPEED DROPS TO APPROX 45MPH IN SHORT DISTANCE. VEHICLE IS ACTING LIKE LIMP MODE. NO CODES ARE PRESENT. WHEN EXHAUST CLEANING MODE CLEARS, VEHICLE RESUMES NORMAL SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. FORD TELLS ME THIS IS NORMAL. FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WHEN SPEED SUDDENLY DROPS ~30 MPH WITH CHANCE OF REAR END COLLISION. THIS PROBLEM HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN PULLING 18000 LB CAMPER. HAVE NOT SEEN PROBLEM WITH NO LOAD.

THEIR TRUCK SHOP SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME OF THE PROBLEM WHEN I REPORTED WHAT THE TRUCK WAS DOING....
