The wastegate controls turbo boost pressure plain and simple.

I few years ago we towed our camper through the Ozarks and it was a uneventful tow (in a good way). Wouldn't mind going back there again.

Thank You. I have been reading all day and believe you are correct. I don't understand why I don't have a code. My tuner says there is nothing in the tune that would impact the waste gate. Anyway, I watched a fellow on video replace the waste gate controller and I think I'll just let a pro deal with it.

Waste gate was deleted in later models. Maybe for this reason and to allow for higher boost like our 6.4's would allow.

OK, here is the end of this story. I took the truck to the dealer and had a pro check it out. Nothing mechanical wrong. He thinks tuner is fouling up. No charge. Love it. Rebooted tuner. Returned to stock and reloaded tune. All well now.
