Something I've never seen before 06 6.0

[webb06]

Extra little bracket on the turbo pedistal. Bolts to the HPOP cover bolts and to the drivers side turbo mounting bolt






Anybody else seen this?

Was some silly tsb a long while back for a resonance from the turbo area. I would just leave it off.

I like how they slapped that sticker over top of the original lol

Planned on it. Just curious what it was. Worked on MANY 6.0's and never ever seen one

Ya I'm not sure what's up with that business

That's pretty rare for sure. I'm with the above posts....something fishy for sure.

That's real strange, never seen that before.

Yes it was a TSB for a resonance that later switch to replacing the whole pedestal because they would get weak and allow the turbo to vibrate causing a resonance in the exhaust. I'd put it back on ! Because a come back for a resonance after the repair doesn't look good, but that's up to you bro.

So thats what is the cause of the annoying vibration noise i hear at 1500 rpm. I thoght maybe the down pipe was rubbing slightly on something.

Is it anything to worry about or no big deal?

Maybe ! What year is your truck ? I would check for loose or missing turbo bolts. 04.5-05 6.0s have more of a problem with it because of the pedestal design. When Ford switch the location of the rear bolt from horizontal to vertical it weakened to pedestal design. Here is a pic of an 04.5 on the left and a 06 on the right.

05.5-07 where still covered in the TSB I believe, just bc resonance could still happen even in the later pedestal. Ford sales a updated pedestal. Noise is the only thing to worry about on this.

LOL good luck, I'd be shocked if anyone at the dealership had a clue what you were talking about.
