I would take the truck to PSE...I don't want to sound like a dick, but obviously you and the shop that did the work are now in over ur heads....talk to Dorian and see if he can work with you as u have already spent a **** ton of money and time on the truck.

I don't know what kind of finances you have or what you owe on the truck but I don't think you will get ur money back if you trade ur money.

He's a lineman you me and both know he's got it.. But ya I agree don't give up on it yet. It's a nice truck and if you get rid of it your just going to spend money on something else. I'd stick it out and see if a good shop can figure it out.

Talked to PSE today. Gonna take it to them in a few weeks when I get my rotation off work and drop the truck off. They seemed pretty confident in the fact they could figure it out

I talked to three shops really. Hamilton Diesel. A shop in round rock that specializes in Powerstrokes and PSE. I know they are a vendor here on PSN and everyone keep referring me to them. So I'll see what they can do.

There's a video of my VGT arms from idle to full throttle

TXlineman83 · Jun 17, 2014

Idk why the truck has such a hesitation in it at idle when u get on the throttle

Where's that located. I can check connections

jngreen · Jun 17, 2014

Throttle Position Sensor.
Located at your throttle pedal.

You should be able to test it with a multimeter. It should read various voltages at different throttle positions.

Sticky vgt actuator maybe. Do the rpms move evenly from idle or are they jumpy too?

TXlineman83 · Jun 17, 2014

They move fairly evenly. Only become jumpy if I try a boosted launch. At which they the rpms will not raise above 1000rpm

And the sounds the motor makes at low rpm throttle sounds horrible like it's missing or something.

dsberman94 · Jun 17, 2014

My new thoughts are that your low rpm backpressure is totally out of whack because the vgt actuator isn't working right. Could cause weird sounds. I heard some weird chit when we were diagnosing the vgt actuator on my buddy's 6.4. Maybe someone could post a video of their actuator to compare yours to. Not sure whether I would start with a new actuator or with the wiring though. And I hate to just send you to ford and pay even more than pse will charge.

I posted that video in regards to someone PM a video of theirs from idle to throttle. I thought mine sounded way off beat. I'd post his but my phone won't let me copy it for some reason to post it.

dsberman94 · Jun 17, 2014

Explain how yours is different.

TXlineman83 · Jun 17, 2014

Well if I had to relate it to a gas powered motor. I'd say a coil was mis firing or injector not fueling on time. At idle you don't notice until throttle is applied. Where as in the other video. You could hear a steady increase in rpm range. I'll try again with the other video.
