Noisy engine

Hi guys - I want to thank those of you that told me to spray WD40 into the armrest! It seems to have fixed my dome light/door ajar problem. Can you believe that!

You know I really love my 99 F250 diesel. It is making a lot of noise lately (other owners told me it was noisy from the beginning). I don't know what the turbocharger is supposed to sound like, but something is really getting noisy. Another owner told me about 2 years ago, that I needed to take my vehicle into the dealer and let them replace something - I think it was the turbo.

Any ideas?

thanks - I have already learned a lot and saved money just since I registered here!!!

The turbo will sound like one of two things ---
It will either sound sweet and whistle or it will sound like one hell of pencil sharpener. Everything else will tick --- some lighter and some heavier. Hope this helps just a little
