Turbo/engine suffocating for air?
On my 2005 F 250 6.0PSd I was driving thru the freeway at approx 60 mph and during cross winds my trucks turbo would have moments when it would feel as if the motor would suffocate for air. This only occurs when there is a cross wind hitting the truck from passange side. I then replaced the stock air box with AFE stage II air intake and the same thing occured. Once I am above 60 mph or below it does not occur. Any ideas?

Ducster1,
Well it definitely was Not "suffocating" from lack of air. You are going to have to be more descriptive in the symptoms of your problem so that we can help you.
On another note, removing the Donaldson factory intake and replacing it with an A/M air intake was a Big Mistake. The factory Donaldson intake is the best system on the market. It flows more air than the 6.0 can use except in Extreme modded racing conditions (more than a tuner & exhaust). Also all A/M intakes increase air flow by decreasing filtration. This leads to more and bigger dirt particles entering the turbo and engine, resulting in dusting of turbo's and engine components. A/M intakes can and do void the factory 100k engine warranty. So first of re-install the factory Donaldson system and then see if you can return your A/M intake for a refund. If you can't get refund chalk it up to a learning experience.
Please give us more info on your problem and your truck, ie any mods you have done (tuners), and wether or not you were towing etc.
Hope this helps
