diagnosis please
What's up guys ....right now im in corpus christi and have noticed my truck is letting off a very high pitched noise sounding when I press the pedal from a stand still. When im idle it doesn't make the noise. My turbo has never made this high pitch noise before ....is my turbo going out??? The turbo is lagging but there as always been a delay. Power I think is the same and mpg is same from what I can tell.....
Thoughts please

I would tend to think under load the belt has a better chance to squeal.
As far as turbo goes they have been pretty dependable.
Might just take a gander at the intake tubes. Shine a light in there and see if there is anything that you can see trouble wise.
Also shine a light all around the outside of the turbo, verify if there are any leaks at the oil lines that feed the turbos.

I take it the noise is only when accelerating? Coincides with making boost?
If you had a 6.0 I would suggest you have blown head gasket(s) and the noise is the squeal of excess coolant system pressure escaping from the degas bottle cap.
I wouldn't expect same from a stock 6.4 though; nor did you mention any coolant issues. Everything okay level wise under the hood for both coolant systems?
Hopefully it is just the belt slipping.
Good luck,
Bob

The truck is not stock...it has a dpf delete and programmer with a cold air induction. All fluid levels are just fine and normal levels..... the problem only seems to happen when I accelerate... I am making more black smoke then is normal... I assure you I do not a hot rod my vehicle as this is my office.... I do you feel like I have some power loss.... at highway speed I do not hear the noise anymore but I feel as if I can't get up and go when I need you

It is the 'Y' formed where the two pipes from the exhaust manifolds come together before connecting to the turbo.
