Need some diagnostic help

Anyone live near the Ann Arbor area and have access to AE software. I would like to hook up to my 04 PSD to diagnose a suspected turbo issue. While towing my fifth wheel, I can see as high as 35 psi of boost pulling a hill. If possible, I would like to command the turbo vanes to a certain position and read the feedback. Wondering if maybe it is sticking or the VGT solenoid is going bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Jason

I didn't think the 6leakers had variable geometry turbos.

That all has to be done with your chip programing though, AE is just diagnostic software.

Sounds like headstuds are in your future as well.
Thats the main weakness of the 6.0's.
