If you step on the throttle and the truck moves out of it's own way, if you've got a boost gauge and it reads 28psi with your foot into the throttle when you're on the freeway onramp, if you can hear something like a small jet engine 'whir' emitting from the exhaust when you ease into the throttle from say, 1,400-2,200rpm, then your Turbo is working fine.
If you enjoy the way the truck puts you back in the seat when you're accellorating, or when you're towing a 10,000 pound trailer up a 7% grade up some highway pass in the Rockies still holding the speed limit, then your Turbo must be workin fine.
If the truck dudn't move, Sump'ns broke.

OK, all kidding aside, a complete description of the symptoms would bring more precise answers from forum members. A cracked pickup tube in the tank could lead to this, but there are several other possibilities.
A little more info please...
