I believe your CTS gets it info from the same place as the dash gauge??? If so it is going to get the same result. If this is true you can't expect to get a different reading even though you are using a different way to monitor. To be sure the turbo is boosting as it should be you'd need to...

Did you ever get this sorted out?

If you haven't cleaned your turbo...It could very well be a stuck unison ring. Just because the dash gauge says it's boosting up to 26 doesn't mean it actually is, it just means that the PCM is calling for that much boost. The PO299 pops up when the turbo won't actually produce what the PCM is...

I had this issue with my 07 and it was fixed when I removed the sensor from the EBP tube and cleaned it with a piece of trimmer string, It, may be helpful to use some type of solvent along with the trimmer line to loosen the carbon in the tube...also look on the inside of the sensor, mine was...

Post this over on FTE, Mark Kovalsky (sic) is the trans. guru on that site ( He is one of the engineers that designed the trans.) and is the go to guy for trouble shooting there.

:whs:

Your temps look great now......maybe I missed it but do you have a coolant filter now? If not get one on there quick, I read on these sites that after a flush it's pretty well guaranteed the oil cooler will plug. I swapped out my coolant but didn't do a flush for that reason..that and my deltas...

I'm done with this.

Looking back on my first comments I guess I did appear to be a smartazz...that was never my intentions, I was only trying to interject a little positive vib, that's to say lighten up a little what is a lot of negativity, I guess I can understand how anyone with problems with these engine would...

I'm not superstitious....lol, and I know full well the chances that these engines will have problems. I'm actually a pretty 'happy go lucky' guy and when I first posted on this site I was just trying to interject a little positive attitude but found out in a hurry that there isn't anyone here...

Sorry to hear that, Mine's still working great.

talking ***t about your 6.0 This is some pretty scary stuff....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvi6KcOHcCg ....enjoy!

Not yet...lol, I'm keeping my fingers crossed though......has anyone considered consulting a :priest: before they try to get their 6.0 running, I'm thinking that might be a good course of action.

The thing about these PSD forums is it's where most with problems go to piss and moan....the rest are driving around turning diesel into smoke......if you want me that's were I'll be. have fun with it while you got it runnin'

I said my 6.0 was running great and that's been for seven years and 116,000 miles and yes, I know the entire history of the engine. You all equated it to 'outstanding service' I hadn't thought of it as that but after listening to the pizzin & moaning on this site now I do.

Be careful how you speak of your 6.0 here on PSA, it appears that unless you have the mindset that the 6.0 is a POS and is just waiting to blow the heads off ......well, opinions aren't well received. A little more doom and gloom here than I need, If I want to depress I'll start drinking again.

......and that makes you a dick head but I won't hold that against you.....and nobody's making you comment on my post....you can quit anytime.....or continue to be a dick head, your call.

My 6.0 is running great! and yours isn't yet you still have it, and I'm the tard....brahahahahhhaa.

So you're saying the other 100,000 trouble free miles the PO put on my truck don't account for anything in regards to dependability? Sure, that makes perfect sense.

I'm not sayin' there aren't some bad 6.0's......I am sayin' there ARE some good 6.0's........we could kick this around all day and nothing will change so I'm movin on.:rockon:
