Who was it that said that the 6.0 does not have a wastegate?

Mine has stuck several times and I had to replace it today at a cost of $399.00 just for the part.

It is mounted on the side of the Garrett turbo and dumps exhaust gases to regulate the turbo boost.


Since exhaust gasses pass through it, it sometimes gets plugged with carbon according to the dealer. I got tired of trying to clean it, so I replaced it today.

When it fails, the turbo won't build boost and the truck will fall flat on its face..

Result: No power. It will run at idle fine, but when you try to tromp it, nothing.
