Ford E-350 6.0 P0299 code
I have a 2010 Ford E- 350, 6.0 and a P 0299 code came up, seems it's a turbo issue, question, have mot run the van in a while, would it be a good idea if I blew it out on the highway? Seems the code does not effect the perfomance, is the regulator plate in the turbo just stuck or do I need to take the turbo off and take it apart and check it , thanks, Tom

I know Ford used the 6.0 in the E-series in 2008, but I don't think any further. However, if it's a 6.0, the P0299 is an underboost code, usually caused by a stuck unison ring in the turbo. Yes, you might "break" it free with some fully throttle runs but once they stick, they usually have to be pried off.
IMO, you'll have to remove the turbo. Don't just clean the unison ring, replace it. Cleaning will usually give you 30k or so before you're right back at a 299 code. It's really not that difficult to do but it'll cost you 600.00 labor or so to clean. Another 150.00 for a new unison ring. You'll see a big difference!
