Problem Resolved FINALLY!!!
After many trips to the dealer and hours there, I finally got to talk to the tech that was working on my truck. Little did I know I had raced with him for years and had no clue he worked the dealership. Got to go in the back of shop and watch him do some work on truck did a WDS Diagnostics on it and we took down the road and there it was the VGT Solenoid was bad. He told me that he hadn't looked at the truck in previous visits that it was the other mechanic adn ==nd he told me just to call him on his cell from now on if I had trouble. IM SO HAPPY its not EVEN FUNNY! THE SURGING IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm convinced that there are more parts changers working on some of our trucks than certified 6.0 diesel mechanics !!!
Not that there are NOT good mechanics out there, just that they have not been given the right exposure to THIS engine !
Heck, I've been doing software for 30+ years and am consider VERY good, but don't expect me to be able to do fast work in ALL languages....

I thought you were off,... to go try to trap, some poor low life fish…
Remember whenever you are in the big ponds; you are not at the top of the food chain.
OOPS forgot Texas guy……..Definition: big pond = ocean

I know I make jokes about fish and fishing it is something I want to do someday. Only the ocean kind. I have never caught a fish with a hook in my life, so it would be a very new experience.
Overseas we used to help locals out……..with the use of high explosives, to put food on the matt.
