Unhappy Help!!! Problem with diesel...

I have a 04 6.0 thats been sitting still for about five months because I've been away on business. I have a banks power tuner installed in the truck.

I drove the truck today and the turbo sounds different. It has a much higher pitch and isn't as loud as it used to be. There's also a major loss of power and the turbo boost gauge goes all the way to 50 psi (tapped out) when I get on the gas. Also, when the tranny shifts, the truck makes that blow-off sound but it's slower than usual. It's also blowing off alot more than usual.

I have the Banks tuner turned off right now. Dont want it to screw anything else up. Any ideas on waht might be wrong? Please help...

As far as your problem goes. Is there any chance that your fuel may have gone bad?

Remove all the Banks electrical products, disconnect the batteries to reset the computer. Call your dealer for service.
