Default 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 V10: Diagnosing lack of power issue

It sat for about a year, had very little gas in it, and now runs 92 octane. Drove it for about 400 miles.

Definitely know I have an exhaust leak.

In any case seems severely underpowered, and read through some posts regarding injectors needing to be replaced and or fuel pump/filter.

I have a scan tool (Bosch), any way of diagnosing if i have lean condition?

See what the O2 sensor has to say. Also check long, and short-term fuel trims.

Any misfire codes?

Can't figure out how to delete post. I was in a different thread, no idea why it posted here.

Update,

Upon scanning my truck, i discovered that the governor pressure sensor shows high voltage as does a code for the trans temp sensor voltage.
Is the temp sensor part of the governor pressure sensor. Upon some research I thought I recall it is, and you have to drop the trans pan to get at it.

Also, I'm assuming this is likely the reason it feels like the e-brake is on upon initially driving forward.

Yep, pressure and temp sensors are one and the same.

And the lack of power issue likely from this malady? - at least based on correlation based on diagnostic scan??

If the trans is in limp mode, it would sure seem like the engine is down on power......
