2013 turbo flutter
I have a stock 2013 F350 6.7 auto crew cab short bed with 7500 miles. My turbo seems to flutter sometimes whenever it wants and I can never get it to do it when I want to show someone. Sometimes I've had it do it at 35mph in 3rd gear and I've had it do it at 55mph when I let off the pedal all with empty bed and no trailer. I took it to the dealer and they told me its fine, that's it not like my last truck (2008 f250 6.4) and that I should be concerned if it doesn't flutter. Does this sound correct?

Ok thank you for your time. I just thought it was strange to do it not under a load. My last truck only did it under a load (pulling a Chevy 2500 with a enclosed trailer through a field in a foot of snow).

No metal snapping sounds that I've noticed. Just what sounds to me as a flutter when I let off the pedal. It did it again last night when I let off the pedal pulling up to a stop sign at 20mph.
