No power, shutterring sometimes?
Hi, I am in Jackson Hole and looking for some ideas. My truck started to have limited boost, around 17 at the max on straight roads. I have my 5500 lbs camper in the bed. I am going to Idaho Falls.
Sometimes when I pull on a long hill it starts to shake and shutter, I stop on the side of the road and go again and it stops shaking but Boost goes to 9, 12 sometimes at full pedal to the floor uphill, it would never go higher than 16 pulling.
NO codes, no engine light, EBP and MAP reads fairly equal.
I am thinking it could be the fuel filter, 30,000 miles on it. I cleaned the turbo a months ago and it was going good for 2000 miles. Theres is no evidence of loosing bosst on the turbo tubes.

Back on the road, I went to Auto & Diesel Service Inc. in Jackson Hole Wyoming, after I explained to him what the truck was doing he said to start with the fuel Filters.
Filters changed, boost is back to 26, 27 and power is all back. Lesson learn, change filters before things get bad.
Thanks for your replies.

IDK how long the Water Stoper Part of the Filter Lasts But it must have something to do with 15K???

I also averaged 4000-5000 miles per month the last couple years I owned it.
A lot depends on where a person is getting their fuel, humidity, any history of algae in the tank etc.

IDK But I NEED One Too!!! a Good in Cab one Its one the more spendy gauges for shure
A gauge that is that goes into cab
We could probably get a cheaper setup and go manual with Special fitting but how often would it get hooked up

I was going to post a Bible Pic but the link in the tech folders having a Hard time today
The only pic I have of the test port would have to be Email to you unless the 6.0L Bible in tech folder starts to work
