help me
Who was it that said that the 6.0 does not have a wastegate?
Mine has stuck several times and I had to replace it today at a cost of $399.00 just for the part.
It is mounted on the side of the Garrett turbo and dumps exhaust gases to regulate the turbo boost.
Since exhaust gasses pass through it, it sometimes gets plugged with carbon according to the dealer. I got tired of trying to clean it, so I replaced it today.
When it fails, the turbo won't build boost and the truck will fall flat on its face..
Result: No power. It will run at idle fine, but when you try to tromp it, nothing.

All replies welcome.
And howdy to ya'all

You Need some gauges
I use ScanGaugeII
Go get it scaned for DTC auto zone and other do for free
but the SGII will probably find the Issue and it could be a few diff things

In the parts diagram it calls the VGT SELENOID a WASTE GATE $253 @ TOUSLEYS. IF your truck sites for a while they unisom ring while freeeze up and cuase that problem. My truck doesn't get used that often and thats what happened to me and also when you take it apart the actuation arm should only move 90-180 deg not spin all the way around, their is a 1/16 inch shear pin that could break like mine
