04 6.0
Hi Guys
I have a 2004 6.0
I have a problem with the waste gate I think
When i am driving it feels like the boost is not there when it acts up it will feel like the gate is opening when it needs boost. When it does it black puffs of smoke will come out of the exhaust

Yeah - sorry .... I couldn't resist.
The 6.0's have variable-vane technology. The solenoid operates the inlet guide vanes on the turbine side of the turbo. This happens in place of a waste gate.
You could have one of a half dozen issues. We really need to see a deep scan for codes. ALSO, we need to know where your ICP sensor is located (ie if your '04 has an '03 engine).

ICP sensor behind the turbo?
You need a scan tool - one that does a deep scan for codes. With a scan tool, the first thing to do is to look at EBP_G, MAP, and Baro at KOEO.
ForScan full version or ForScan Lite are the way to go. TorquePro is good for Android devices.

I am asking about the ICP sensor location so that I can determine what year engine you have ..................
As I indicated above, the '04 trucks can have EITHER an '03 engine or an '04 engine.
The turbo is controlled differently depending on which engine is in it ...........

LMAO - we went through this in the engine model 3 years ago (laughing more at me than you)!

So you should have an active EBP PID. Comparing EBP, MAP, and Baro at KOEO is the next step (along with codes).
From the old thread, the turbo does not sound very old, so maybe you can get this resolved fairly inexpensively!

A "simple" check would be to inspect all the boots in the intercooler system for cracks. You may need to really squeeze and manipulate them to find it
Also check that the clamps are no broken. Happened to a buddy of mine, it just gave out and eventually fell off.
