On the road, no power...

[UnrepentantSinner]

06 F350 pulling an empty 25ft flatbed, absolutely no power. Truck doesn't have enough to stay in overdrive on flat ground. Fuel filters were changed less than 5000 miles ago. Cant hear the turbo whistling (or real faintly) and the dash turbo gauge bounces between 15 and 25 pounds of boost real quickly and settles at 20 pounds.

Did the turbo take a dump? Any other ideas? Running gas petal to the floor and barely holding 50mph. Frustrating as hell.

It has done this once or twice before but then in a few miles gets the power back.

vanes might be stuck shut. do you have any gauges on the truck?

 

[UnrepentantSinner]

That is kind of what I was suspecting.... Nothing but stock gauges. I did unhook the trailer and rabbit down the road and back, even at full throttle the boost doesn't go much above 20lbs. Not sure if that is normal

Either turbo or EGR valve.

Well a stock truck usually boosts around 22-24psi unloaded...

Could also be EBP sensor issues.
