Yes, I mean "flutter." I guess this is just the way the 6.0L is. I have a 7.3L Excursion and used to have a 7.3 F-250 and I never noticed any flutter. Of course the turbo did not screech nearly as much. I'm going to keep driving it and see what happens. I mainly get the flutter when the engine is not warm, but it comes and goes as it pleases. Thanks for your help. When I put the Banks 6 gun on it one day, it may take care of the problem.

Mine was coming on about once every 4 days. The cost of tech time was going up each day and the truck was going to be a loss of profit. They knew they had a problem with the lemmon law and they couldn't fix it.
On a sad note, the problems seem to be getting worse. Now it sounds like I have an injector failing as well. Something is robbing power and the way it cuts in and out makes me think injector. I suppose it could be turbo related though. We'll see.
I agree with you guys about the singing turbo. This ones seems to have more to say than the old Mack I used to drive.

Mine was doing the P02263 code every few days like yours. They replaced the EBP sensor and it never appeared again. Dunno if this is your problem, but my engine was surging on cold starts and kicking off that code. Once the sensor was changed, code went away as well as the surges. This is on a 05/03 truck.

Thanks for another great data-point! If we keep connecting the dots, maybe my truck will get fixed...

Got my truck back today. It spent the weekend in the shop. Dealer replaced the EBP valve and so far everything seems great! Don't want to speak too soon, but it hasn't run this well in a month! I'll give it a good road test tomorrow and see what happens.

The truck ran fine today. I guess that little EBP valve was causing all the symptoms: Inconsistent/high idle on cold start, the check engine light, loss of power (made it act like a compression brake), and maybe even the in-cab exhaust smell I had. No odor at all today!
Thanks to all of you who gave advice. It was good to have some background when talking with the shop. Also good to find a dealer who would listen and work to resolve the problem. Drew Ford in La Mesa, CA.
I'm happy again! So is my wife now that I've stopped fussing about my truck...
