Problems with 03 stroker
Hi, My sister in law is having problems as follows with her 2003 short box Lariat 4x4 Crew Cab Power Stroke 6l.
She leaves for a 6000 km trip in less than 2 weeks and the dealer still can't find a problem. Any comments please.
"First i noticed no power, then a funny whoofing noice when i would let off the gas, it started to buck & fart, would smoke. That was when the injector went, then an exhaust leak terrible diesel smell inside cab, then egr error on the computor, now they think it's the turbo charger. The truck has absolutely no power, when you accelerate it has a terrible hesitation, but it does not have that throw your head back power it used to."
The dealer keeps getting EGR codes and have replaced.

This all happened to me back in June, July of 2003. All the same symptoms, and the dealer thought it was the turbine also.
They found a crack in the connection hose/pipe between the exhaust manifold and the inlet to the turbine. All of the exhaust gases were escaping through this crack causing low power, and the smell of diesel in the cab. They replaced this braided pipe and I have had zero problems since. 2003 F-250 PSD 6.0
