chugging at 50+mph
2004 F350 6ltr runs strong, excelerates strong but when getting up to 50 + truck starts to chug pretty bad. If I let off of the gas it seems to stop, if I excelerate past 60 it seems to stop. I am leaning towards the transmission or possibly the converter going bad. Anyone else have this happen?

possibly sticky turbo vane actuation.
is the programming stock or are you running aftermarket tuning?

The programming is stock for now. I thought about the turbo to and start to play with it. I disable the vgt. Still had the same problem. @mblanken it is kind of hard to explain. I use the term chugging cause that is how the misses describes it.It is almost like it is bucking. I have had a carrier bearing go. Does feel like that.
I was leaning towards tranny thinking maybe the converter is not locking up or slipping some how.

I would also suggest sticky turbo. Just had mine cleaned and now runs better than new!! I had underboost codes and chugging at slower speeds. Try cleaning the turbo an see wat happens.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help. It turned out to be number 1 injector. 2 hours later I was hauling ***. Thanks again. Now to install my SCT livewire. Cant wait to see how that works with my 39 foot fifth wheel.
