“I have a 2009 Gmc sierra 2500hd 4x4 automatic diesel lmm. While towing my travel trailer on the freeway at 65mph the dashboard displayed the message engine power reduced all of a sudden. While this was being displayed the vehicle slowed rapidly to 35mph and the vehicles behind me were scrambling to move over. I limped the vehicle to the nearest exit and connected my obdii reader and it displayed the code of p0087 low fuel rail pressure. I limped the vehicle to the nearest auto parts store and changed the fuel filter as a precaution. …”
